Families choose Home Care Match LLC because they understand that quality of life is what’s most important to their loved one. Of course, safety is an issue. But your relative has not gotten this far in life without developing a sense of meaning and purpose, of values and priorities. Likely they are used to being in control of their lives so they can manifest those values.
Why wouldn’t they want the same control when it comes to the home care they receive when they need help?
Maintaining one’s “personal agency” is at the heart of our business model. Our very structure is designed so your loved one gets the care they want, in the time they want, with people they will enjoy spending time with. Ours is not a one-size-fits-all company. We are an employment agency that offers several caregiving employees to choose from, based on our assessment of your unique needs and interests.
Families choose us often in a time of crisis.
As a family caregiver, you want the best for your loved one. But you also have other responsibilities in your life. You may even live far away. Providing day-in, day-out care is not the best use of your time. You want to hire superb caregivers so you don’t have to worry or carry out the tiring tasks of bathing, meal prep, dressing, and errands. The time you devote to your relative can be better spent in other ways—as a daughter, a son, or a spouse.
You, too, develop a relationship with the caregiver because you are a team dedicated to the same positive outcome. You, too, get personal agency in terms of which tasks you do and which are best provided by professionals. Your time becomes your own. You shed the guilt and worry about not doing enough, because you know you have chosen quality.
By employing our caregivers, you and your family
- develop a deep rapport that often lasts for years. Nothing speaks to quality of care more than the longevity of an assignment. Most home care agencies experience a complete turnover of staff once a year, which means frequent staff changes for you. So profound and productive is the bond that develops between our caregivers and their clients, we have matches that are in their eleventh year—and counting!
- gain access to exceedingly well-educated caregivers. The employment agency model ensures that the caregiver is paid a livable wage. Many of our caregivers are licensed as a home health aide (HHA), certified nursing assistant (CNA), or personal care assistant (PCA). Many come from other countries—Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, South America— having earned an advanced medical degree in their country of origin. They are not only college educated, they are very skilled in their profession.
- control the hours and define the tasks. As a direct employer, you are not limited to the staffing regulations that encumber a standard home care agency. Our highly educated caregivers are perfectly capable of filling medication boxes, using a nebulizer, or managing tube feeding. You avoid expensive “upsells” for advanced caregiving skills.
- bring engaging companionship into the home. Our caregivers are as comfortable playing chess or accompanying a client to the Met as they are with cooking dinner and helping with bathing. Their highly educated backgrounds ensure insightful caregiving as well as thoughtful conversations.
