| Caregiver backup for emergencies |
We are ready and able to fill the need with one phone call. |
None. Home care backup is extra stress to your family. |
| Bonding, liability & workers comp. insurance |
Our staff are bonded and insured, giving you peace of mind that if the caregiver hurt themselves in your home they would not sue your home owners insurance policy. |
Usually none. It’s your responsibility to investigate any insurance held by these individuals. Private individuals can sue your home owners insurance policy if hurt on the job. |
| Quality control & supervision of home care staff |
• All cases are carefully monitored and supervised by our Geriatric Case Managers and our management team.
• Random visits made regularly.
• Family members kept
informed on a regular basis. |
These individuals are completely independent and lack formal supervision. |
| Continuing caregiver training |
We provide continual mandatory in-service caregiver training. |
These individuals may or may not continue to build upon their knowledge and skills. |
| Payroll, taxes, and IRS |
We assume responsibility. |
You are responsible for reporting and remitting state, federal, and FICA taxes to the proper tax authorities. |
| Criminal background and reference checks |
Our employees are carefully screened at the time of hire with several layers of thorough background checks. Approximately 90% of applicants do not meet our high standards. |
It is your responsibility to check the background of the individual. |
| Flexibility of home care services |
Your home care service requirements will rarely stay the same.
• If the skill level or amount of care that you require increases or decreases, we can accommodate your needs. |
Skills are fixed to the particular individual, and you pay for the skills they can perform rather than the skills you need. |
| Experience |
Our caregivers have been delivering quality home care to satisfied clients for an average of over seven years. |
Variable. |
| General availability |
We can provide home care services to you and your family 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Your caregiver is available on weekends and holidays. |
One person means limited days and hours. You are responsible for staffing a replacement for sudden sickness, time off, emergencies, and vacations. Employment transitions mean that you start all over again. |
