Finding qualified in-home elder care during business hours

Adult children need to hire senior care aides for aging parents but struggle to find vetted, experienced caregivers available for part-time day shifts (8am-5pm) without committing to full-time staff or expensive agencies. Care.com results are inconsistent and few specialize in dementia or mobility assistance.
