Making the right choice
Licensed agency vs. an independent caregiver
Families in Alameda County often start their search by comparing a licensed home care agency to hiring an independent caregiver directly. Here’s what that difference actually means day to day.
With a licensed agency like PrimeCare
- Every caregiver is background checked, fingerprinted, and registered with the California Department of Social Services
- Bonded and insured coverage protects your family if something goes wrong
- If your caregiver is sick or unavailable, we provide backup coverage, so care never stops
- A care coordinator oversees the plan and checks in regularly, not just one person working alone
- Payroll taxes and workers’ compensation are handled by us, not your family
With an independent caregiver
- Background checks and credentials are the family’s responsibility to verify
- No bonding or liability insurance if an accident or injury occurs
- If your caregiver is sick, on vacation, or leaves, you’re often left without coverage
- No oversight or backup, care quality depends entirely on one individual
- The family becomes the legal employer, responsible for payroll taxes and workers’ comp
This isn’t to say independent caregivers can’t provide good care, many do. It’s simply a different level of risk and oversight, and one worth understanding before you decide.
