In short
- Some care is given by contractors. They must follow the same Agency policies you do.
- Every contractor has a written agreement that says who does what for the patient.
- Contracted aides are supervised by our nurses just like Agency aides.
- If you see a problem with care given by a contractor, tell your nurse supervisor right away.
- Contractors send their notes to the office quickly so the patient’s record stays complete.

- Which services do you provide through contractors? Show me the written agreements.
- Does each agreement say who does the assessment, the plan of treatment, the care conferences, the scheduling, and the discharge planning?
