The process

Three steps, no runaround.

You send the basics

Name, county, program, and how to reach you. Nothing else — we’ll gather the rest on the call.

A nurse calls you back

Within 24 hours. We confirm fit, capacity, and timeline honestly — including when we’re not the right agency.

We meet the individual and family

We match a caregiver to the person, not to an open shift. You get a named point of contact for the case.

We pay caregivers a livable wage and give them the schedule we promised them. That’s why the person you refer keeps the same familiar face.
