A Lift and Care

We are not like a big Agency. A private caregiver has the advantage when it comes to providing a wider range of non-medical care services. Home care agencies tend to have stricter rules about what a caregiver can and cannot do, while independent caregivers are not subject to the same restrictions. As an example, an independent caregiver could drive the care recipient around for appointments, errands, and social activities, while a home care agency might prohibit their caregivers from doing so. This also means that an independent caregiver may be better suited for providing companion care, or in other words, simply serving as a friend to an isolated elderly person living at home alone. They can change light bulbs, go to the vet, go grocery shopping, or take the care recipient to a movie. Make sure they are taking the correct amounts of Medicine that the Dr prescribed. In fact, the flexibility of support that an independent caregiver can provide is often the very reason families will choose to work with an independent caregiver rather than a home care agency.
