Registered and credentialed
Caregivers have the registration, training and health screening their state requires.
Licensed where required
We only work with agencies that are licensed or registered wherever their state requires it.

* Hailo Care is a free referral service. It is not a home care agency and does not employ caregivers or provide care. Each agency is responsible for hiring, screening, training, insuring and supervising its caregivers, and for the care it provides. Families should review an agency’s services and agreement before care begins.
