General educational information, not medical advice. Discuss individual health decisions with your treating clinician. Bjou service availability must be confirmed separately.
Listen to the person receiving support
Start with the person's preferences and goals. Discuss which activities they want help with, the times of day that matter and the routines they wish to keep.
Separate everyday help from clinical care
Companionship, meal preparation and personal care are different from nursing tasks. Ask providers about permitted tasks, staff qualifications and how clinical needs would be referred to an appropriate professional.
Ask about coordination
Discuss scheduling, backup arrangements, family updates and the process for reviewing changing needs. Confirm service availability and costs before relying on a care plan.
