When services are no longer needed with a particular family, the agency assigns them to another care recipient, frequently with a wait time of a few days only.
The agency can get individuals the kind of work they like, usually close to where they live, and on their preferred schedules (week days, weekend days, Part-time, full-time, and live-in or live-out).
The agency preserves their jobs by covering for them when they are not there. They are thus encouraged to take time off without fear of losing their jobs.
The agency provides continuous moral and technical support. Anyone who has ever hired a home care agency is aware of the special the relation between the workers and the Care Coordinator at the agency.
