Understanding the Challenges of Hiring a Caregiver Directly

Families often underestimate the responsibilities of being a “household employer.”
Hiring independently means you become responsible for taxes, insurance, legal compliance, and vetting all without professional oversight

Common challenges of private hire:

  • Independent caregivers may not be screened or fingerprinted, leaving families at risk of unknown criminal or abuse history.

  • Without proper coverage, families can be held financially responsible for injuries, property damage, or negligence claims.

  • If your private caregiver calls out or leaves, you may be left without care — often without notice or replacement.

  • Families become the legal “employer” and are responsible for payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and compliance with labor laws.

  • Private hires typically receive no formal training or oversight, risking inconsistent or unsafe care quality.

With CogniHealth you’re not just paying for hours. You’re investing in reliability, protection, and quality of life.
