Why Hire Golden Heart for your Home Care needs?
Caring for a parent or elderly loved one can be daunting if you have never done it before and knowing where to start can be confusing. You can try to take care of your loved one yourself but are you really meeting their needs and keeping them safe? Golden Heart Senior Care takes care of this need for you and your loved one.
Why not just hire a private caregiver?
If you hire a private caregiver to take care of a loved one, how do you know who you are hiring? Do you realize you become an employer subject to employment law and liability?
If you hire a private caregiver directly, YOU ARE TAKING A BIG RISK! By hiring a private caregiver directly, you can suffer significant financial liabilities and you are assuming significant employment responsibilities.
However, if you hire Golden Heart Senior Care, you can avoid these personal risks and get the care you or your loved one needs!
Wages and taxes
If you employ a private caregiver directly, you are still responsible for paying their taxes. The IRS treats paying of any person “under the table” as tax fraud.
Insurance and bonding
Private caregivers do not have liability insurance and are not bonded. It becomes your responsibility to provide liability insurance to cover any caregiver injuries, damages, or theft.
Staffing, training & supervising
If you employ a private caregiver, you will need to conduct interviews, drug screenings, scheduling, training and taking disciplinary actions. If your caregiver gets sick, you will be without care. Golden Heart performs these functions and has additional caregivers that can provide the help you need.
Abuse and exploitation
Most caregivers are caring, giving and loving people. Unfortunately, some private caregivers take advantage of seniors. To ensure your safety and dignity, Golden Heart Senior Care conducts background checks, driving record checks, and supervision of your caregivers.
