The non-profit National Private Duty Association (NPDA), along with the Ohio Chapter, will host a
consumer education web conference entitled Hiring Home Care Workers: Avoiding Tax and Legal Risks on
March 30 at 8 p.m. The live and interactive program, which will provide advice on reducing risks during
the home care hiring process, is free of charge to participants.
"Most seniors want to remain living at home as long as possible. The goal of our upcoming program is
to educate families to help them make the best decisions when hiring caregivers for their seniors who
need assistance around the house," said Sheila McMackin, president of NPDA. "Going into this
hiring process with a solid foundation of knowledge puts your mind at ease and reduces the potential for
tax and legal problems down the road."
The web conference topics include understanding home care provider hiring guidelines, tax and legal
issues, identifying risks and independent contractor issues.
Pre-registration for the event is required. Sign up by visiting the registration link at

The NPDA, a non-profit organization, currently represents more than 1,100 private-pay home care agencies
in 44 states.
