Hello,
Im new here but had a quick question... My sister fell and has a traumatic brain injury and were bringing her home from the facility to continue her recovery. We need some help though with her part time at the house.
After much research, We want to hire someone directly instead of going through a "service".
I've already tried "googling" many different terms but everything goes to these services...
Does anyone know of maybe a group or service that helps match "independent" care givers?
Any help is appreciated...Thanks
Often aides that work at Adult Daycare Centers will take on outside work as well.
Caregivers that work for an Agency usually get workman's comp through their employer. The Agency is licensed, bonded and insured. The caregivers are required to be up-to-date on important shots (such as flu and Covid). Plus the Agency does the payroll, taking out the required social security and Medicare, etc. I used an Agency for my Dad, and if one of caregivers couldn't come that day, the Agency sent someone else.
Hopefully you can find a caregiver that is a good match for your sister.
If you only need short hours, a 'next-door' type website might turn up people who are local and are willing to work locally.
