Why choose Licensed Home Care Organizations?

With unlicensed care, should an incident happen in your home, you and/or your loved one(s) may be liable
for out of pocket compensation for claims such as unemployment claims, workers’ compensation claims, and
possible tax liability. While some unlicensed agencies may offer lower prices for what may appear to be
similar services, there may be legal implications for you and/or your loved one(s) as you are hiring the
individual and are now responsible as the employer.

With licensed care, the HCO employs their caregivers and accepts all employer responsibilities. This
includes important employee and client protections, such as workers’ compensation coverage,
unemployment insurance coverage,e, and employer-paid share of payroll taxes.
