Agency vs Independent
Making the best choice: Hiring an independent caregiver vs. hiring a licensed agency
When a loved one needs help at home, finding a caregiver can be a difficult and overwhelming task. You want what is best for them, and your goal is to keep them safe and comfortable in their own home. Staying home can clearly be the best choice for your loved ones, but inviting someone new into your home can be uncomfortable and even scary at times. When you combine that with finding a reliable, honest, and dependable caregiver it may seem like handling all these things on your own is a better option.
Finding in-home care to get the help you need doesn't have to be difficult. You have various options but for most families it comes down to two: You can hire a private independent caregiver or hire a licensed home care agency such as CareHeartedly.
An independent caregiver may seem like the best choice when you're looking at costs starting out, but you still have to factor in employment regulations, insurance, and liability. As the employer you're responsible for injuries, state taxes, withholdings, all of which can boost your rate up significantly. Homeowners insurance is typically not enough to cover accidents or injuries that can occur on the job, which leaves you vulnerable to other costs. When considering hiring an independent caregiver you should contact the IRS and your local state department for laws and regulations to stay in compliance.
Having a complete job description and employment agreement is very important when hiring an independent caregiver. It's also a good idea to do a background check and even a credit check when searching for a candidate. The skills needed to provide hands on care should be properly verified before care is given to ensure the caregiver is qualified to provide those services. An I-9 form will need to be completed to make sure the employee can legally work in the US. I-9 forms can be obtained through the IRS website if you need to download them.

Here are some of the benefits of using a licensed home care agency such as CareHeartedly:
-
- CareHeartedly provides complete guidance to you and your family while care is being received.
- All caregivers undergo a skills competency evaluation upon hire by our staff RN to verify their proficiency in hands-on care and other tasks.
- Our caregivers' performance is regularly evaluated by our staff RN to guarantee we're providing the highest quality care and that our clients' care plans are being closely followed.
- Our RN Supervisors are always available to our caregivers, our clients and their families to address any urgent questions or issues that may arise during or between caregiving shifts.
- Our RN Supervisors reevaluate our client's progress and satisfaction with service on a regular basis and make changes to their care plan as needed, so you can feel confident that we're adapting our care and service to fit your loved one's changing needs.
- We also have programs and procedures in place to check in on our caregivers and clients while they're working. If you are not satisfied with your caregiver for any reason we will try our best to find a replacement for you.
