HOME CARE (Caregiving)

A private duty home care company/agency offers caregivers, home care aides, companion care, homemaker services and in some cases nursing services within a client’s home or place of residence.

Payments for care are paid privately, as opposed to through Medicare. There is no state licensure for this service, therefore it is the consumer’s responsibility to research that all legal, insurance, financial, background and training requirements are met.
