What’s the difference between a home care agency and a private caregiver?
| Feature | Home Care Agency | Private Caregiver |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring & Background Checks | Agencies screen and train caregivers for safety and reliability. | Families are responsible for hiring, screening, and verifying credentials. |
| Supervision & Accountability | Agencies provide supervision, ongoing training, and replacement caregivers if needed. | Families oversee the caregiver’s work and must find a backup if they’re unavailable. |
| Cost & Payroll | Agencies handle payroll, taxes, insurance, and workers’ compensation. | Families manage payroll, taxes, and may need to provide insurance. |
| Reliability | Agencies provide backups if a caregiver is unavailable. | No guaranteed backup if the caregiver cannot work. |
| Insurance & Liability | Agencies are fully insured, protecting families from liability. | Families must ensure the caregiver has insurance or risk liability. |
If you want a reliable, hassle-free solution, ALYSAN Home Care ensures professional, supervised, and high-quality care for your loved one.

Dementia & Memory Loss Questions
No, memory loss and dementia are not the same. Memory loss can occur due to aging, stress, or
medical conditions, while dementia is a progressive decline in cognitive functions, including
memory, reasoning, and communication. Occasional forgetfulness is normal, but dementia-related
memory loss is severe and affects daily life.
Dementia is a general term for cognitive decline that interferes with daily life, while Alzheimer’s
disease is a specific type of dementia. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia,
characterized by memory loss, confusion, and difficulty performing familiar tasks. Other types of
dementia include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.
