Choosing the right home care professional agency is a challenging task but finding one that is flexible and focuses on the needs of your loved one is a key factor. Agency costs are more expensive than hiring someone yourself for your loved one but the advantage to a licensed agency is that it covers and handles all worker compensation issues, complaints, firing & hiring, bonding, and payroll taxes. Licensed agencies are required to have a nurse to perform assessments and write nursing careplans for your loved one and a nurse visit every 92 to 122 days in Georgia. You should consider your local community home care agency!!!
