Search the care address
Use the ZIP where the person will receive care, even if you’re calling from another city. Check a state provider directory or the Eldercare Locator for local options.

Use the ZIP where care will happen to find local directories and the right questions for your first calls.
Check local coverageTurn your ZIP search into a shortlist
Verify the type of provider
Look for the agency’s listing in an official state directory. For Medicare-certified home health, use Care Compare and confirm the referral process with the clinician.
Check what the agency can staff
Ask whether it serves the exact ZIP, when help can start, and whether it covers the shifts and tasks you need. Ask about shift minimums and request a written estimate.
