EPISODE 16 – Registry vs. Agency: What Families Need to Know About In-Home Care

Not all caregiving is created equal. In this episode, Jamie Callahan is joined by Stephanie Parsons, founder of Caregiver Group, to explain the critical differences between home care registries and traditional caregiving agencies—and why it matters for families navigating aging and care at home.

They cover:

• What a caregiving registry is, and how it compares to an agency
• The benefits of flexibility, cost savings, and personalized matches
• How registry caregivers are often more loyal, qualified, and fairly paid
• Misconceptions around Medicaid, insurance, and backup care
• What questions to ask before hiring a caregiver—and red flags to watch for

This episode is packed with real-world insight, transparency, and heart—from two people who’ve made it their mission to advocate for seniors and caregivers alike.
