Some of the problems for families hiring personal care attendants are
the price and also the restricted job functions of the caregiver. For
families seeking quality home health aid, the only option is to hire
independent caregivers at a price that they set themselves.
Depending
on the type of care that a hired personal care attendant is expected to
give, you can expect to pay about $13-20 an hour for live-in home
health care. There are programs such as IHSS, which is the state/county
program for Medicaid recipients that pays $8.75 to employ independent
caregivers. You must also factor in the type of care they provide
whether it includes bowel care, trach care, med care, and so on. Talk to
previous employers and other people who are already using the services
of home health aides.
Another thing to consider is the number of
hours the caregiver is expected to work, the timing, whether the
caregiver is expected to be on call or live-in. It is up to you whether,
you want to reward your caregiver on merit. It is a wise idea to
discuss the salary range of the home health aides. You can start out by
asking how much they charge for care and negotiate accordingly.
Another
strategy is to do a trial period, of about 2 weeks and raising the
salary according to whether the caregiver performed to your
expectations. It is very important to work out a pay schedule and work
out the type of payment. Nursing students may prefer being paid in cash
whereas a more experienced older caregiver may prefer being written a
check. Have a contract in writing that is more comprehensive than a
standard independent contracting contract. Have the payment schedules
and methods of payment also outlined in writing to minimize
misunderstandings. Establish clear objectives and write out a formal job
description outlining the responsibilities of the caregiver.
