Also, please go the the Labor website or Elder Care section in Health & Human Services for your county/state to read up on the laws that surround paying for privately hired caregivers (those who don't come from an agency). If you hire privately, be sure to have a written contract. Consult with an accountant and/or elder law/estate planning attorney for best practices to make sure you have yourselves protected.
If you have a Nextdoor.com forum for your area, this is an excellent source of reviews, recommendations and referrals from your actual local neighbors, and it is not anonymous. I use it all the time when seeking opinions on services.
