My mother has Alzheimer's and her Long Term Health Care benefits have run out, so I am unable to afford an in-home Caregiver from a licensed agency. I have found a very capable and willing woman to provide care to my mother at a salary I can afford. What steps are required of me to legally hire this woman? Am I required to pay Social Security and/or Insurance?
I live in California. Who should I contact about my situation? Also, ir you are willing I would like your contact information , so I can discuss this matter with you in detail
In any case, if she gets hurt working, you could get sued. So, proceed carefully, but if this is the perfect person, you may be able to make it work. Just check with your state to make sure you are doing the right thing. Good luck,
Carol
