Protection, Professionalism, and Peace of Mind

Genuine connection, daily joy, and peace of mind right at home.

When it comes to your loved one’s safety and well-being, choosing the right care partner matters. While hiring a caregiver privately might seem convenient, it can expose families to serious risks. Working with a licensed, insured home care agency like CogniHealth ensures your loved one receives trusted, accountable, and expertly supervised care.

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.
