Useful tips

Any good care provider will be more than happy to answer all your questions. Here are some things to bear in mind.

• Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you like. If you can, write down the things you want to ask beforehand.
• You may be able to set up a trial period before deciding whether a social care service or care home is the right one for you.
• Try and talk to the people using the care service that you are interested in and see what they have to say about it.

In short, you should feel totally comfortable that you have chosen the right care service for you.
