Join us for the first in a three-part series on hiring home care aides.  In this first part, Christine Bitzer, LICSW and Director of Seabury Resources for Aging, Care Management Team, will discuss how to plan for care, how to know when it’s appropriate to hire assistance, and the considerations when choosing either a home care agency or an individual.  Session 2 (to be scheduled) will feature various home care providers discussing their agency’s services, scheduling, and pricing.  Session 3 will feature community members that have hired individual caregivers, either as employees or contractors and their experiences. The goal of these educational sessions are to give older adults and anyone else interested in the topic, a general understanding of the role of home health aides, various options available in the area, and considerations when choosing a provider. The three-part series is open to anyone interested.
