Frequently Asked Questions

Should we survey the patient, the family caregiver or both?

Both when possible. Patients rate the care experience directly; family members observe punctuality, care plan adherence and communication that the patient may not report. The combined view drives the most honest improvement.

How often should home health agencies survey?

Per-visit micro-survey (2–3 questions) for real-time quality monitoring, plus a monthly comprehensive survey for NPS, family satisfaction and care plan effectiveness. Avoid surveying after every visit if visits are daily — fatigue kills response rate.

What should home healthcare surveys measure?

Caregiver skill and empathy, punctuality, full-time presence (no early leaving), care plan adherence, communication with family, infection control practices and NPS. Per-visit: 3 questions. Monthly: 8–12.

Can surveys help with HHCAHPS compliance and Star Ratings?

Yes. SurveyNinja offers HHCAHPS-aligned question sets so you monitor the same domains CMS evaluates — between official survey cycles. Identify weak areas (communication of care, professional skills) and improve before next quarter's reporting.

How do I track caregiver consistency — the #1 family priority?

Each survey is tagged with the assigned caregiver and visit. Reports flag patients seeing 5+ different caregivers per month — proactive scheduling intervention reduces churn dramatically. Consistency-tracking alone often lifts family NPS 15+ points.

Does SurveyNinja integrate with home health software in the operations lead, not as a generic benchmark?

Yes. Via webhooks, Zapier and the API we connect with Axxess, WellSky, MatrixCare, Alora, ClearCare, AlayaCare and HHAeXchange. Surveys auto-trigger on visit completion or weekly cadence. Tie the answer to follow-up outcomes and bring it to the risk review as a handoff checklist input.

How am I alerted to safety, neglect or abuse concerns immediately?

Trigger keywords ("rough", "neglect", "stole", "no show", "rude", "left early") fire instant Slack or SMS alert to the care coordinator and clinical supervisor. Same-day investigation is required for compliance and patient safety.

How does Patient satisfaction affect service standards in the field review?

Yes. The template library includes HHCAHPS-aligned, post-visit micro, monthly family, post-hospitalization (admission), discharge from home health and caregiver-of-the-month nominations. Editable in minutes.

How do I use feedback to reduce caregiver turnover?

Aggregate positive client comments are shared with caregivers monthly — most powerful retention tool in the industry. Top-rated caregivers also feed your "caregiver of the month" recognition program, which lifts retention by 18–25%.

How do I generate referrals from happy families and discharge planners?

Promoters (NPS 9–10) get auto-prompted with Google review links and discharge planner referral request templates. Hospitals' case managers value agencies with documented family satisfaction — your data becomes your strongest sales tool.
