Why families use Home Care Helper

A simpler way to find in-home care

Searching on your own usually means calling agency after agency, or filling out a form and getting ten calls by dinner. We built this to work the other way around.

One agency, not ten

Your request goes to a single local agency that serves your area. No bidding war on your phone.

Truly local

We match on where your loved one lives, so the caregivers are nearby and know the area.

Your information stays private

We only share your request with the agency you're matched with. See our Privacy Policy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is in-home care?

Non-medical help at home from a trained caregiver: companionship, bathing and dressing, meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping and getting to appointments. It lets older adults stay in the home they love instead of moving to a facility.

How does matching work?

You tell us where care is needed and a little about the situation. We pass your request to one home care agency that serves that area, and they reach out to talk through options and set up an assessment.

Will my phone start ringing nonstop?

No. Unlike many referral sites, we don't send your information to a list of agencies. One local agency contacts you.

Does Medicare pay for in-home care?

Medicare generally doesn't cover ongoing non-medical in-home care. Most families pay privately through savings, family support or long-term care insurance. The agency you're matched with can walk you through costs and options.

How much does in-home care cost?

Rates vary by location and how many hours of care are needed. Your matched agency will give you a clear quote after learning about your loved one's needs.

Questions

Agency FAQ

What does getting vetted involve?

It starts with a short intro call. We learn about your agency, where you provide care and the services you offer, and confirm you're a good fit for the families we serve before you join the network.

Is each family introduced to more than one agency?

No. Each family is introduced to one partner agency that serves their area. Families tell us they're tired of being called by ten agencies, and we built Home Care Helper to avoid that.

How do families find Home Care Helper?

Families looking for in-home care find us online, then answer a few questions about their loved one's needs and when they'd like care to start.

How does pricing work?

Partner agencies pay per family introduction through prepaid credits, with no long-term contract, and you can pause anytime. If an introduction turns out not to be a real care request, like a wrong number or a job seeker, we credit it back to your account. We'll walk through the details for your market on your intro call.
