Why should I use a Licensed Home Care Company rather than hire a caregiver on my own?

1. With a private caregiver, you need to do the proper screening and background checks. After you hire that person, you then become a supervisor! We have a very rigorous system for screening and interviewing caregivers, so we hire only the highest quality caregivers. Plus, we handle all ongoing caregiver issues so the family never has to deal with it.

2. When your private caregiver calls in sick, you may be placed in a bind finding a replacement or taking care of your loved one yourself. When you use a Licensed company, there are always back-up caregivers available.

3. Our caregivers are our employees, which means we pay all of their taxes and Worker’s Compensation. If a caregiver is injured on the job the Worker’s Compensation Bureau can come to your loved one looking for compensation if your caregiver files a claim.

4. Our caregivers work under a care plan developed by our experts, and they have a team of supervisors who keep a close eye on the level of care they provide. It takes a lot more coordination than people think. To get the best care, you should work with professionals.

5. Most important, however, is the fact that when you choose Dependable Care, you are hiring an entire team of people who care.
