cna74145, sounds like you want to hire a caregiver who works for an Agency, but the caregiver's Contract with the Agency says there will be a cost? Is that correct?

I know for the cargiving Agency that helped my Dad, the buy-out fee was $5,000 if I wanted to hire one of the caregivers outright.

Please note, if you are able to buy-out the Contract, don't forget to contact your home insurance carrier to purchase a "workman's comp" policy. Such a policy, which is usually there for a caregiver who might get hurt on the job, licensed Agencies offer such insurance on their employees.

Do you have a specific question about doing this?

Read the contract, it will cover this situation, whether you are the client or employee, it will cover it. If not, then there isn't a buyout.
