Quick Question: Have you ever hired a private caregiver?
Last week we asked you if you had ever hired a private caregiver. Of those who responded, over 50% indicated that they had hired a private caregiver or anticipated having to hire someone in the future. For those who had hired someone before, we asked what some of the greatest challenges in that process were. Trusting someone to care for a friend or family member and finding someone who is the right match for everyone's schedules, needs and personalities while staying within a budget were the most common challenges mentioned.
