Home Caregivers Accreditation Of America is setting a standard for the new and growing field of non-medical in home companion care, offering seniors and their families security. Working in the industry these last few years has been an eye opener for Ms. Fraser. Agencies who are not "doing it right" can put a senior in harm's way.

The standards are straightforward, agencies must have liability insurance, dishonesty bond or surety bond, worker's compensation insurance for their care giving employees and a business license where required. If agencies follow these standards, they are more often than not, conscientious, and care about their company, employees and seniors.
Seniors and their families should ask about background checks, and even drug testing and fingerprinting. The least expensive care giving agencies may not be a bargain at all. Companies that pay employees cash, or file a 1099 form, put the responsibility on seniors and their families to pay the taxes for that "employee." And, they may have to resort to their homeowners insurance for accidents.

Agencies who "do it right" can find it difficult to compete in a uneven market place. This service has been available to home care agencies and seniors nationwide since April 2003.
