Hiring an agency caregiver takes much of the stress out of finding a caregiver. Because agencies match caregivers as part of their day-to-day business, you leave much of the heavy lifting to the professionals.
The agency will take care of hiring, managing, and paying your caregiver, and will also carry appropriate business insurance in case your caregiver is injured on the job. If you are paying for care with Long Term Care or Medical Insurance, there are many agencies who are happy to accept insurance as a form of payment.
