At Nashoba Homecare we see families that are already overwhelmed by their care giving roles, taking on additional burdens as an employer by hiring someone privately to help them.  Unfortunately, this often brings with it many unforeseen problems.

Reasons to Choose Nashoba Homecare
Most people are unable to comply with the stringent regulations that the law requires for licensed homecare providers like Nashoba Homecare.  Criminal background checks, workers compensation insurance, social security payments, state and federal taxes are usually the first to fall by the wayside, which exposes the families to unnecessary risk.

Another aspect that is invariably underestimated is the number of times that the private “employee” will be unavailable due to illness, vacation, doctor and dentist appointments, child problems, car problems or any number of other reasons.  The families then suddenly find themselves in the predicament of having to provide alternate care at the last minute and it is especially difficult when they are located many miles away from their loved ones.

Nashoba Homecare takes care of all these headaches for you, relieving you of the stress and allowing your family to spend quality time together.  Get back into a normal work routine and enjoy your leisure time again.  Let our experience and commitment in these matters make your life easier.

Our caregivers are employees and not subcontractors, are fully insured and carefully screened.  We run background checks and confirm all references.  Should you choose to employ a family member, friend or an independent caregiver to care for your loved one, there are some important issues for you to consider and certain responsibilities that you would have to assume yourself, as shown below:
