1st Home Care Solutions has a minimum 2-3 hour requirement for our services. Under the registry model, the client is the employer and determines the schedule that is convenient for them. The client can determine how many days a week and how many hours the caregiver is desired. Additionally, the client can choose to utilize caregivers routinely or as needed. Of course, there is a greater likelihood of finding a quality caregiver by providing work at least 2-3 hours a day and 15 hours a week.
No, the client will not be paying the caregiver directly. 1st Home Care Solutions works with a payroll processor that will assist clients in automating payments and alleviating financial challenges when it comes to paying caregivers. An invoice is generated by the payroll processor based on the hours recorded by the processors telephone time-sheet recording system. The payroll processor will bill the client directly for the hours worked and submit payment to the caregiver and a referral fee to us. By utilizing a payroll processor we ease the burden of our clients to satisfy all annual tax requirements for the state and IRS.
Hiring a private caregiver provides you the opportunity to decide what type of service you would like completed. A private caregiver can provide services such as companionship, transport clients to doctors appointments or social outings, prepare and cook meals, assist with grooming and personal care, laundry, light housekeeping, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and reminding the client to take their medication. These services are intended to assist our clients to stay at home.
