Making the right choice
Licensed agency vs. an independent caregiver
Families in San Francisco 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.
Common questions
Frequently asked about home care in San Francisco
What’s the difference between PrimeCare and hiring an independent caregiver?
PrimeCare handles background checks, bonding, insurance, payroll, and backup coverage if your caregiver is unavailable. With an independent hire, your family takes on all of that responsibility directly.
Do you serve every neighborhood in San Francisco?
Yes. We serve seniors and adults citywide, from the Sunset and Richmond on the west side to the Mission, Bayview, and everywhere in between. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Why doesn’t San Francisco have individual city pages like your other service areas?
San Francisco is a consolidated city and county, so there’s only one “city” to cover. We’ve organized this page by neighborhood instead so you can still find information relevant to your part of town.
