ElderCare 4 Families is a full employment-based, non-medical home care agency. As a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and National Private Duty Association (NPDA), we work hard to ensure our employees are skilled and qualified to provide care. We monitor employees through client feedback, supervision in the home on a routine basis, ongoing mandatory training, and telephony.

We withhold all mandated taxes from our employees and pay all employer taxes. We also bond and insure (liability, worker's compensation, unemployment insurance and non-owned automobile insurance) our caregivers. We provide 24 hour telephone coverage by an office employee for emergencies and additional services. We also provide back-up care in the event that your caregiver is ill, on vacation or has an emergency.

The NPDA outlines some of the risks of hiring a private caregiver for consumers to use as a resource in deciding whether to hire privately or use a home care agency. A few of these risks include payroll tax responsibilities, work-related injuries, abuse and exploitation as well as supervision of the private caregiver.
