A placement should not begin with unanswered handoffs.
The onboarding path makes ownership, open questions, and the next communication point visible before the first shift.
- 1
Confirm the responsible contact
Name who receives updates and who can make decisions.
- 2
Clarify the non-medical service request
Keep the proposed work within verified scope.
- 3
Review schedule, home routine, and fit
Avoid promising a placement before fit is understood.
- 4
Document what is confirmed and what remains open
Separate facts from unresolved questions.
- 5
Prepare the care plan and matching conversation
Use the profile-listed screening and credentials to guide—not replace—the matching conversation.
- 6
Confirm placement and the first shift
Tell the responsible contact when the shift is set.
- 7
Set the 48-hour and weekly communication rhythm
Keep communication from ending at placement.
