At one time in the journey of life you feel your parents or you need a specialized home care service provider. With the help of family or friends, find some help from your local health system, or you can employ someone. If you are hiring someone you most probably be hiring what is known as a home health aide. Other names might be a home care worker, companion, Care Aide or Nurse's Aide.
There are three main reasons you should hire caregivers:
· Companionship and monitoring.
· These are personal care needs, such as dressing, bathing, toilet help, and mobility.
· Children’s are not able to give time to their parents.
Caregivers can also be employed through some agency or privately. Some of the main advantages of hiring home help from an agency are that caregivers are pre-trained and screened, their benefits are rewarded for, and there is always a back-up in case they don't show up due to some reasons. They have an administrator who will monitor the care they provide. One of the main disadvantage is the caregiver receive only a portion of the money that you pay to the agency. A second is faithfulness may be more to the organization than to you.
