If you are hiring a caregiver from a registry or privately, you might end up becoming their employer, which increases your responsibility and risk. All caregivers at 24 Hour Home Care are fully employed with the company as a W-2 employee. 24 Hour Home Care manages and monitors the caregiver throughout their tenure with the company.
