Cost Effective A typical cost for a nursing home stay is around $230 to $280 a day. An experienced and professional caregiver from Secure Healthcare LLC only costs $170 to $190 (24-hour shift) a day per person with services provided right in the comfort of the client’s home. One-on-one in-home personal care is a more economic alternative to staying in assisted-living facilities, retirement homes and other institutionalized environments. Avoid Liabilities Associated with Hiring a Domestic Employee Clients who hire caregivers directly (not from a licensed agency) can run into the burdens of becoming the “accidental employer” that requires you to deal with Social Security taxes (SSA) income taxes (IRS), insurance (Workmen’s comp, liability), wages (Dept. of Labor) and other requirements associated with employing a caregiver yourself. Our caregivers are our employees. The client does not have to worry about dealing with civil penalties and other legal responsibilities associated with hiring a domestic employee. When a privately hired caregiver is injured in your home while taking care of a care recipient, you as the homeowner is  legally liable for any medical expenses or other costs associated with the workers' injury. This can devastate you financially.  d Improved Quality of Life Studies have shown that in-home care improves the quality of life by providing elderly seniors and those with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy their sense of independence and control of their time in the comfort of their homes.   Familiar Surroundings At home, family and friends play a vital role in their recovery and well-being. You are assured that competent one-on one care is provided to your loved one in a familiar and relaxing surroundings. Companionship and Mental Awareness In addition to providing assistance to your loved ones in activities of daily living (ADL) – bathing, eating, mobility, dressing, toileting, grooming and personal hygiene, our caregivers can also stimulate mental awareness by conversing with them in English, reminiscing the past, being their friend , their emotional support and companion when no one else is around. Homemaker Services Home helper services are also available. Our caregivers can drive clients to shopping malls or social events, provide light housekeeping, plan and prepare meals, change linens, organize mail and bills, write letters of correspondences and other chores that can be reasonably accommodated.
