In Home Senior Companion Care Can Be The Right Choice

As seniors grow older, their children are faced with the onus of figuring out the type of care needed to support their daily lifestyles. An In-home Senior Companion can assist by providing the exact type of care needed. In many cases, seniors simply need an extra set of hands a few times per week which can save thousands of dollars compared to the cost of moving them to an Assisted Living Home or Nursing facility. You can hire a person who is there to help as a live-out or live-in caregiver. Non-medical caregivers for the most part are not covered by Medicare which typically covers the costs for nurses after hospital stays. Non-medical senior caregivers are privately funded, many times through the senior’s retirement savings and 401k. By doing a Needs Assessment an In-home caregiver for a senior’s current needs can help the money go a longer way when full-time coverage is not an immediate necessity.

Where do go to find the best senior caregivers? Family members are some of the best sources but in many cases they can’t and/or do not want to maintain a regular schedule and also may not have the patience, personality or compassion of a caregiver who has made this their career. Private caregivers hired on your own are another source but there are obstacles like doing thorough background checks, trust issues or employing a caregiver legally, payroll liability with proper tax withholdings and benefits. The easiest way to hire a professional non-medical companion is by using a full-service agency that can help consult on the type of care needed and match the right caregiver with providing all the payroll obstacles, workers compensation, etc… for you.
