An in home caregiver agency providing insured and bonded nurse aides protects you in several ways. Do you think your homeowner’s insurance will cover a caregiver if an accident were to happen in your home? Probably not. What if there is accidental breakage in the home? Custom Care Solutions provides in home senior care that is responsible and committed to customer service. Nurse aide service by an agency with employees that are insured and bonded takes the stress and worry out of in home care.

You may be able to find caregivers that work on their own called “private hire” workers or independent contractors. There may be some caregivers that are honest and sincere. If you do decide to hire caregivers that are not working for an agency that insures and bonds their employees, always make sure to check their references. Ask that they show you proof that they, as caregivers, are insured and bonded. It’s up to you at that point to make sure you are paying for a service that is responsible and respectful of your needs. If you use a private hire caregiver or independent contractor agency you become responsible as an employer. For your peace of mind, use an agency that makes sure you receive employees that are insured and bonded. It should be included and is a vital part of their service. We are not implying that all private hire caregivers are not potentially good nurse aides, just be sure to be as careful selecting them as we are!
