Should caregivers serving high-profile families wear uniforms or scrubs?
Treat a uniform as an assignment choice, not a signal that every high-profile family wants one. Ask the family what practical purpose it serves, then ask the caregiver whether the garment suits the work and feels comfortable. Agree on the look, when it is worn, cleaning, replacement, and who provides it before the assignment starts. A simple dress standard may meet the need without a branded uniform.
Where should an agency source caregiver uniforms, and should it keep stock?
Start with a small specification: garment type, sizes, fabric, care needs, and an unbranded sample the caregiver can assess. Compare suppliers on fit, reorder availability, minimum quantities, and total cost; no single vendor is assumed to be the best choice. Order for confirmed assignments first. Keep a small size range only if repeated demand and replacement speed justify the inventory, and track who has each item.
