You will want to have a background check, follow state and US Department of Labor regulations and have a written contract. For advice on this, you might consider talking with an elder lawyer near you. You can find one on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
