If you can’t care for an elderly family member, and you don’t want to send them to a long-term care facility, you can look for a live-in caregiver by contacting a home-care agency near you. Ask your doctor, their staff, friends, and family for recommendations. Choose a state-licensed agency that has licensed and insured trained workers. Request information packets from multiple agencies so you can compare the options and pricing to find the best fit. You can also open up the position directly to the market and can screen potential caregivers yourself.
