How to Choose An In-Home Care Agency
What You Should Know...
Is the Agency Licensed by the State?
Does the agency follow state regulations for background checks, liabilities and taxes?
Is the agency available 24/7, 365 days a year? Can they be reached in emergencies?
When aging loved ones are asked about their choice for housing during their retirement years, they will almost always reply, “I would like to stay in my home.” When the time comes when help is needed, there are things to consider when choosing an In-Home Care Agency. In-Home Care can help prolong independence and gives huge benefits in their physical and mental well being. ProCare Home Health Providers is here to help make that transition.
What is In-Home Care?
In-home care typically refers to non-medical services that assist individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and feeding. Services can also include meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, shopping, transportation to medical appointments and more.
In-home care has become an increasingly popular choice for care because it allows people to remain in the comfort of their own home environment. “Aging in place” is most comfortable, prolongs independence, safer, reduces stress and depression for the whole family, and improves the quality of life. Agency-based home care is more dependable. ProCare provides all of the mentioned services and more!
State Licensed Agency
An important first step is to make sure the Agency is state licensed. Maryland requires anyone providing in-home personal care to be licensed by the State. State licensed In-Home Care Agencies have many responsibilities in providing consistent supervision for the employees they hire as caregivers. This includes helping the caregiver to understand the proper standards of care according to the state licensing regulations and the parameters of non-medical personal care and alerting family members to the client’s status. ProCare Home Health Providers is a State Licensed Agency.
Assuring You Get the Most Qualified Caregivers
By following the regulations set forth by the state licensed RSA (Residential Service Agency), caregivers must have completed a thorough criminal background check & fingerprinting and are insured and bonded for the protection of all clients. The licensed agency requires current CPR and first aid. The In-Home Care Agency should provide on-going trainings to have the best-qualified person care for your loved one. ProCare Home Health Providers requires all of the same requirements listed.
Who Pays the Taxes?
Most families are unaware of their responsibilities regarding employer taxes, insurance needs and provision of workers compensation when someone comes into their home to help them. To make sure you are compliant with the law, choose an in-home care agency that pays all the employee’s (caregivers) payroll taxes, Social Security, workers compensation and unemployment taxes. This takes the burden of becoming an employer and having to be responsible for taxes and other benefits. ProCare Home Health Providers handles all taxes.
If the caregiver sustains an on-the-job accident or injury, the liabilities can be substantial. You should know that it might create unexpected liabilities for your family, which legally becomes the employer. You could be held liable for medical expenses and disability payments. Many consumers incorrectly assume that homeowner’s insurance will cover this type of loss, when, in fact, homeowner’s insurance usually excludes employees (caregivers) in the home. Choose an agency that covers workers compensation. ProCare Home Health Providers provides worker’s compensation and pays unemployment taxes for our employees.

In-Home Care Assessment
When choosing the in-home care services that are right for you, it is important that the patient and family members discuss the kind of care needed with an agency supervisor. This will help you determine whether the in-home care agency can meet your needs. Once that is determined, a licensed registered nurse will complete a plan of care with input from the client, family and doctor. ProCare Home Health Providers will provide a free, initial home assessment to see if we can provide the care you need to stay in your home.
Supervision of Caregivers
The caregiver will implement the care plan under the supervision of the delegating registered nurse. The in-home care agency makes scheduled quality assurance calls and visits. To further ensure quality care, see that a qualified company supervisor regularly and closely supervises all caregivers. Choose an agency that can meet your needs 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Make sure the agency supervisory staff is available and on-call to handle any emergencies that may arise.
Agency-Based In-Home Care is More Dependable
Turning to ProCare Home Health Providers to provide your in-home care is much more reliable and safe. If your caregiver runs late or becomes ill or is unable to keep the scheduled visit, ProCare will be on your side working to find a qualified substitute caregiver as soon as possible. Our caregivers are thoroughly screened, bonded & insured and are verified to be legal for employment. ProCare will take care of the responsibilities of taxes, benefits and workers compensation. Those differences can more than make up for the cost of hiring a licensed in-home care agency like ProCare Home Health Providers!
