Finding Nonmedical Home Care
Overview
When seeking nonmedical supportive services at home, you often face a key decision: Should you hire an independent contractor or choose someone from an agency? Let's explore both options to help you make an informed choice.Independent Contractors
Hiring an independent contractor can seem cost-effective, but it comes with potential drawbacks:
- Payroll Responsibilities: As the employer, you must handle all payroll taxes.
- Liability for Injuries: If the contractor is injured while working, you are responsible for medical expenses and related costs.
- Service Interruptions: Unlike agency workers, independent contractors are not required to find a replacement if they fall ill or take a vacation.
- Background Checks: Without thorough vetting, you risk exposure to issues such as theft, fraud, or even abuse.
Agency Services
Engaging an agency like Interim HealthCare can alleviate many of these concerns:
- Employer Responsibilities: The agency handles taxes, insurance, bonding, and workers' compensation.
- Continued Service: If an employee is unavailable, the agency ensures a replacement is provided.
- Employee Training: Agencies provide training and supervision, adapting to clients' evolving needs by matching them with appropriately skilled caregivers.
- Background Checks and Licensing: Agencies conduct background checks as required by state law and are often licensed to offer a higher level of care, like skilled nursing. This allows you to work with one company as needs change, facilitating access to services like Medicare.
In summary, while both options have their pros and cons, choosing an agency can offer peace of mind, continuity of care, and a broader range of services under one roof.
