In-Home Care Versus Care Giving

There are important considerations when choosing care for a home-bound loved one. A care giver is someone who the family might hire to come provide in-home support to your family member by the hour. This person may be found by a friend or through advertising and may not always be trained well for the specific tasks your situation may need.

Care giving has a licensing process that is very thorough. Caregivers who have received training are qualified to give by-the-hour geriatrics support. They are skilled at moving the person, taking them in and out of cars and buildings, rolling them over and getting them up and out of bed to the bathroom whenever necessary. They are trained to dress and undress people with as little movement as possible, as is needed when reducing pain. They are trained in safe bed to chair and car to wheel-chair shifting of the immobile body. They hold first-aide and CPR certifications.

An in-home care provider is someone who is trained to live with the person or family in order to provide a full spectrum of around-the-clock support. The costs of an in-home provider can be prohibitive for some, which is why by-the-hour fees and qualified caregivers are made available by agencies working to provide the highest quality of affordable care.
