Home Care Tips

Why chose a Home Care agency instead of a Nursing Registry:

For the peace of mind in knowing that all services provided by our direct employees are supervised by a Registered Nurse.

A home care agency carries liability insurance. This means that if something happens for which a liability is incurred; the agency’s insurance policy will likely cover it.

Caregivers, are employees of the agency, all payroll taxes are paid for by the agency, along with all other necessary reporting.

A home care agency takes care of carrying and covering workers’ compensation. If a worker is injured on the job, or is suddenly unable to work due to medical reasons, the agency’s policy will cover the medical bills and any incurred expenses. With independent contractors, used by registries the client would be responsible for not only the medical bills and potential disability payments. This protects you from the liability if a worker is injured in your home.

An agency provides an assessment and detailed service provision plan of care which is developed by a supervising registered nurse. This plan is customized to meet the needs of our clients and is reviewed regularly and updated as needed.

You can expect an agency to provide more training, screening, and supervision of individual caregivers than with any other form of hiring.
