You can also hire privately, but you need to do the background checks yourself. Call your office on aging and ask if they have a list of available caregivers. I think the best way to find a caregiver is by word of mouth. Do you have friends who care for parents or work in the health care industry? Ask for referrals. Make your home secure by locking up valuables, perscriptions, papers, etc. good luck
