    You are touching valid topics, so let me address them. Please remember that caregivers are legal home employee and have all rights and protection of federal laws

    * ChoiceEldercare.org checks backgrounds of the caregivers
    * For those who need same trained by agency and licenced by state caregivers available at fraction of cost
    * Depending on the agreement taxes are paid by aether party (W2 or 1040)
    * Injuries in resplendence are covered by homeowners insurance
    * Both worker compensation and bonding can be purchased through state licensed agents.
    Please understand time of overpaying has passed. Many just' can't afford paying $20-$25/hour instead of $10 the caregiver would have received anyways
    MORE IMPORTANTLY :
    Care hired through conventional agency is very limited. No pet care, no driving, no care for other family members, no live-in employment, high hour requirements. None of it's made with care recipient in mind.

    Who's paying for the caregiver's taxes?
    Who's responsible if the caregiver has a back injury due to caregiving at your residence? Who is responsible if they steal something or abuse you or your loved one? -- the person who hired them are the responsible ones. The agency is not just making money, they are protecting their clients from a multitude of things that can go wrong. They take ownership in training their caregivers, background checks, Workers Comp and more -- Think twice about it.

    Thanks for warm words and advice on my first lens! It's true most would rather stay home and keep their aging parents if they would only know about the options we offer. I truly appreciate that you find our site to be only logical solution.
    It's seems so simple and logical and whoever learn about our free service is ecstatic, still we have hard time spreading the word around.

    I went and viewed ChoiceEldercare and it looks like it could be a real benefit and cost savings to families seeking direct hire caregivers for elder care. If caregiver agencies normally get 50% of the fees you pay, then it's only logical that going through ChoiceEldercare would have significant cost savings too.

    I think most people would rather have most of their money go into the hands of the actual caregivers than the agencies that co-ordinate caregiving.

    You'll need to insert html code in order to get actual links to the site you are recommending. Put ElderHomecare and replace the x's with the url link.

    Great idea!
