...should you decide to hire an independent caregiver.

You should be prepared to:

• Locate potential caregivers
• Screen applicants
• Offer tuberculosis testing
• Offer Hepatitis B vaccinations
• Conduct interviews
• Run background, DMV and drug tests
• Administer payroll, including social security, Medicare, unemployment compensation, workers compensation and other taxes*

*Should an independent caregiver, hired by you, become hurt on the job, you may be responsible for worker’s compensation payments. You also should check your homeowner’s insurance and make sure you have enough to cover medical bills. If you don’t own a home, you may be personally responsible.

The few dollars you may save hiring independently is not worth the worry or the liability. What you may save now, could cost you tenfold in the future.
