Who Can I Trust to Provide Home Care for My Elderly Loved One?
Is a worker with a nice personality enough when you hire home health care for your parent or loved one? It is an important factor but not enough. Senior assisted living home care begins by considering needed home care services and the trustworthiness of the workers. Every year many elderly, especially those with Alzheimer’s, are the victims of theft, identity theft and abuse because the home care worker hired by a family member wasn't trustworthy or reliable.
If you directly hire an aide or live-in worker, you are responsible for taxes and a variety of insurance coverage. More information is provided here. When comparing private home care agencies, ask if they do the following full background checking:
- National criminal background check
- National driver's license check
- Immigration status
- Previous employment history
- Reference checks
- Drug screening
- Tuberculosis testing
Also ask who will supervise the worker and who you can go to if there is ever a problem. Being a smart consumer means knowing the home careagency you are dealing with and how it can help your family member stay at home rather than in an assisted living facility.
