Agency Disclosure

As a legally operating California referral agency (also commonly referred to as “registry”), we have an extensive pool of professional caregivers that we match with our client’s unique needs and preferences ensuring they receive a fully screened compatible caregiver with the necessary skills and experience. California has specific civil and UI codes that govern referral agencies and Affordable Home Care Agency complies with these codes. In accordance with California and Federal Law, Affordable Home Care Agency reports domestic worker’s income to the IRS on Form 1099. Affordable Home Care Agency of California, Inc. is not the employer of the domestic worker referred to you. Depending on your arrangement with the domestic worker, you may have employer responsibilities. As a homeowner, you may already have insurance coverage under your homeowners’ insurance policy. California Insurance code mandates that insurers selling homeowners insurance policies in California include medical coverage for injuries to independent contractors and both medical and workers’ compensation coverage for home employees. If you would like to increase your coverage beyond your existing policy limits, most insurers offer increased coverage at surprisingly little cost and can usually be accomplished with a simple phone call or e-mail. If you are not a homeowner, renters insurance can also provide these types of coverage at little cost. Whether a homeowner or renter, contact your agent or insurance company for more information and to verify coverage and coverage amounts.
