A registry is an organization that provides independent contractors to the person needing in home senior care. The registry does not hire its own employees but only has independent or private contractors. The person receiving in home senior care becomes responsible for any liability (injury to the caregiver, theft, negligence of caregiver).

There is generally minimal ongoing supervision of the caregiver. In case of the caregiver being sick or needing vacation, there may not be any continuity of care at home. The registry may conduct background checks and screen the independent contractor. However, lack of supervision impacts quality of senior in home care received.

The risk to the senior receiving in home care is high.
