Brighthope Homecare takes care of screening potential caregivers, background checks, skill evaluation and training. In addition, we provide ongoing supervision to our caregivers, help the caregivers deal with difficult family situations or changing needs, and provide back-up if a regular caregiver is not available.

We will provide a back-up caregiver.

When you hire a caregiver directly, you need to consider all the tax and liability issues. As an employer, you are responsible for filing payroll taxes, tax forms, and verifying that the employee can legally work in the United States. If you pay $1,900 or more in wages in 2014 to any one employee, you need to withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes. If you pay more than $1,000 in wages in 2014, you need to pay unemployment taxes. In addition, a private caregiver may not carry his or her own liability insurance or workers’ compensation. If an accident occurs on the job, you could be responsible.

Going through Brighthope Homecare eliminates the burden of taxes, liability, and other cumbersome administration issues. Brighthope Homecare takes care of screening the employees, doing background checks, and providing insurance. In addition, we provide ongoing supervision to our caregivers, help the caregivers deal with difficult family situations or changing needs, and provide back-up support if a regular caregiver is not available.

No. Initial client assessment is complimentary (Free).

Knowing how to pay for home care can be confusing. In many cases, there are financial options that can help lessen the burden, and many people find that homecare works out to be the most affordable assisted living option. Options to help with affordability include:

• Private pay
• Long-term care insurance
• Private health insurance
• Veteran’s assistance
• Medicare or Medicaid (At this time, Brighthope Homecare is not a Medicare provider.)

Brighthope Homecare is co-owned by a physician who will be an active participant in the care of all clients. Also, a Registered Nurse and Care Manager will be directly responsible for client care supervision. Supervision is performed by any of the following methods: communication with the client, direct observation, or visit audits.
