Working with a <\/span>home care agency<\/span><\/a> offers numerous\u00a0 benefits. A home care agency like Assisting Hands Home Care will hire, screen, and screen their caregivers, taking the onus off of families. Some of the benefits of partnering with a home care agency include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  • Curating a Qualified Team: <\/b>We sift through applications daily to find the most qualified caregiver for your loved one. It is our job and our responsibility to curate, manage, and nurture the caregivers who will work with your family.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Scheduling: <\/b>If the caregiver is not able to show up to the scheduled shift, the home care agency will find a replacement to prevent families from searching for a private caregiver.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Billing<\/b>: The home care agency will handle the payroll, taxes, and employment verification of each caregiver.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Specialized care:<\/b> Home care agencies offer training for caregivers working with patients with Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s, limited mobility, and other conditions that require additional skills. With specialized needs, we make our best effort to match you with a caregiver with an internal proven track record of success and positive feedback.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Personal Injury:<\/b> A home care agency ensures that each caregiver is insured and bonded with the company for families peace of mind. This will protect against theft from the patient and any injuries incurred by the caregiver. Caregivers are also eligible for worker\u2019s compensation through the agency while a private caregiver has neither, requiring the family to pay for any damages.<\/span><\/div> <\/div> [vc_custom_heading text=”Finding the Right Care for Your Family ” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Oswald%3A300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”]

    The first step to determine whether you or your loved one needs home care or home health care services is to speak with an Assisting Hands representative and schedule a complimentary in-home care consultation. <\/span><\/div> <\/div> [vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”A Perfect Match: The Caregiver-Client Relationship” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Oswald%3A300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”]
    Caregiving is built on attention and connection. During our initial consultation, we strive to identify a caretaker who compliments your needs and personality. We take into account <\/span>both the client\u2019s medical and physical needs, and their preferences, interests, and personality, as well as the caregiver\u2019s skills and experience.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    Based on our initial consultation, we will:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Customized home care plan that meets your loved one\u2019s specific needs<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Assign a full-time or part-time caregiver to carry out the\u00a0 plan<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Schedule a pre-screened caregiver to arrive at your loved one\u2019s home promptly. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div> [vc_custom_heading text=”A Clear Connection: Customized Plans, Compassionate Care ” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Oswald%3A300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”]
