Choosing a Care Provider

BECOMING INFORMED WHEN CHOOSING A CARE PROVIDER

We at One Way Home Care have learned a great deal about hiring practices and have perfected our skills by way of multiple interviews, police checks, reference checks, abuse checks, drivers abstracts,etc.This process takes our Human Resources Department a tremendous amount of time to complete. We then provide training, supervision and follow ups on a continuous basis.

Are you prepared to access and perform these essential screening tools. You may find that hoping to save a few dollars by hiring someone privately is not worth the risks involved. Ultimately everyone wants and deserves the best possible care for themselves and their loved ones.

When you hire someone privately, then you personally

take on the legal and ethical responsibilities as the employer.

When you hire a Home care agency, the agency acquires all

of the responsibilities of being the employer.

HIRING PRIVATELY (VERSUS) A HOME CARE AGENCY

WHEN HIRING SOMEONE PRIVATELY YOU

SHOULD CONSIDER THESE FACTS!!!

You are responsible for determining what type of care plan is needed, as well as the frequency of these services in order to effectively provide care for yourself or a loved one. In time care requirements change and it is crucial to have the skills of a professional to help implement those changes at the appropriate times.

You,as a private employer, may not have access to the knowledge or skills that maybe required to troubleshoot when situations arise pertaining to the care of yourself or a loved one.

You are responsible for the cost of the hiring process from advertising, interviewing and screening.

You will have to thoroughly screen potential employees by performing criminal record background checks, abuse checks and reference checks, or you could be putting yourself or a loved one at risk.

You are the back- up if the caregiver is sick, goes on vacation,doesn't show up for the shift, or happens to quit. You will need to spend more money and valuable time to find a substitute caregiver.

You become the trainer and supervisor, making sure that the person you are going to hire has the proper skill sets to do the job.

You are responsible as the employer when hiring someone privately, to report employee earnings and remit employee and employer contribution payments for Georgia state tax and Federal tax contribution in a prompt and timely manner.

You are also responsible to pay the caregiver while they

are on vacation.Please be aware for your own protection,

in the State of Georgia it is against the law to pay someone

and not report their earnings.You as the employer, must

declare all caregiver earnings. If not, you and the privately

paid caregiver, may face severe penalties and/or large fines.

Your risks for an "under the table", cash arrangement are real and significant, Aside from being illegal. Clients could risk theft of personal possessions and abuse. Claims by caregivers that they have injured themselves on the client's property, and the chance that caregivers will report their employers to government agencies.

You as the employer are totally responsible if someone was to injure themselves in your home or on your property.

This could result in medical bills or even a lawsuit.

Most people have honorable intentions, but when their

livelihood is threatened by an injury, the need for human

survival may take precedence.

WHAT MAKES A Happy

AND CONTENT CAREGIVER !!!

It is a well known fact within the home care profession that caregivers are much happier when they know that they have the on-going support of a team of professionals belonging to a home care agency.

When considering the services of a professional home care agency, you should ask for client references. If they are a reputable agency they will not hesitate to provide you with references from past and present clients.

Also ask friends and neighbors if they know of anyone

who may have had services provided

by the agency in question......
