Advantages of an Agency

Being involved in an Agency that meets your needs has advantages. These may include the following:

• An Agency can minimize the research required to find the appropriate provider of service to meet your family care needs. The Agency will do the ‘leg work’ saving your family time. Agencies will often complete much of the background work such as: security clearances; child welfare checks; preliminary interviews to determine skill sets and philosophies; educational background verifications and reference checks. These precautions are costly in time and money, if not completed.
• An Agency may provide monitoring of the care situation with a reporting mechanism back to the family.
• Agencies will often provide administrative services to include, but not exclusive to:
• contract negotiations;
• mediation when things are not working well; payment services;
• alternative care when service providers are absent or ill.
• Please ask each agency what they offer for services that may be advantageous to your family!
• There maybe referral and resource services such as:
• educational workshops;
• counseling services;
• knowledge of financial assistance for low income families;
• referral to other community resources needed to support your family’s needs;
• support networks.

 

Please note: there may be additional costs attached to these services, so be sure to ask this important question.
