- What happens if my regular worker is unavailable?
- How do you handle complaints and feedback?
- What are your cancellation policies and notice periods?

Before services begin, your provider should give you a written service agreement covering supports, costs, cancellation terms, and dispute processes. You are not locked in and can change providers at any time.
