GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:sitters / hired caregivers / day care
Spanish translation:acompañantes/ cuidadores contratados / residencia de día (para adultos)

English to Spanish translations [PRO]
English term or phrase: sitters/ hired caregivers / day care
This is a for a brochure concerning hospice care. This is the title of a paragraph.
Within the paragraph, the sentence goes like this:

"In almost all instances, sitters, hired caregivers or day care programs are not paid for by insurance companies or through Medicare".

Any brilliant ideas as to how to differenciate, sitters, from hired caregivers, and what's the appropiate way to translate 'day care'when it is for adult care.

Como siempre, gracias anticipadas.

acompañantes / cuidadores / residencia de día
Explanation:
Sitters pueden ser las personas que hacen compañía a los ancianos.
Caregivers puede tratarse ya de personal especializado en asistencia geriátrica (cuidadoras, enfermeras, etc.)
Day care es cuando el anciano permanece sólamente de día en la residencia y regresa a dormir a su domicilio.

Saludos:)

Explanation:
Sitters lo veo como canguros, y caregivers como cuidadores. Es un término bastante habitual. Adult Day Care aparece como Servicio de Cuidados para Ancianos (o para el cuidado de ancianos).

cuidador - celador - guardería / hogar de ancianos / hogar geriátrico


Explanation:
cuidador for the person que takes care, who could be a relative or another person hired for this purpose, but only for the specific person.
celador for the paid employee
guardería would apply if it were for small children, but hogar de ancianos or hogar geriátrico convey de meaning of a place where the elder people live.
Hope it helps.

Personal contratado directamente o a través de agencias para el cuidado del/la beneficiario/a


Explanation:
Yo probaria traducirlo así, ya que "sitters" o "caregivers" en este caso son personas que se ocupan de atender o cuidar (en este caso al enfermo/a) por hora, día, etc y los "programs" son agencias que lo hacen en forma más organizada. Lo importante es que, en principio, este costo no está cubierto por el seguro..
Saludos
