subject: A social care agency - for social care and more [print this page] Going through a social care agency or an agency that offers nursing services is always advisable as the agency serves as a link between you and the employee. This attaches a certain amount of accountability to the roles and leaves less scope for any malpractice to take place. Many agencies adopt a very professional approach, this means that they attend to the paperwork meticulously and also provide necessary licenses and insurances for the parties involved in the agreement. These agencies are widely spread and are also recognized, supported and sometimes funded by government authorities.
