Kindly Care

"Kindly Care is the best way to find and manage in-home caregivers. They specialize in non-medical home care for the elderly and disabled that require a little extra help cleaning the house, cooking meals, maintaining hygiene, or simply a companion to keep them engaged - both physically and mentally. Kindly Care offers its clients and caregivers an unprecedented level of communication and transparency through their mobile apps."

This is important work, thanks for building this. How far in advance do you need to book someone and whats the coverage like geographically? I could use this right now in New York for family

This is obviously a very interesting space to "disrupt" a bit. My wife is a nurse and loves her job. Great job on giving more access to caregivers and people looking for caregivers. How did you arrive at your average rates? We live in California and I'd be concerned with $15/hr caregivers tbh. Another feedback: I input my zipcode to vide the 95 results only to be greeted by a screen that says someone will be reaching out. A quick browse might help with engagement. Great app otherwise! @ilebovic

Hi Everyone! I'm Igor, CEO of Kindly Care. Just wanted to thank everyone for posting and upvoting us. Here's also a quick summary of what we're trying to achieve with our peer-to-peer care management platform. Generally speaking, you can hire caregivers for your elderly loved ones in two ways - through an agency or directly. Agencies are great but very expensive and not everyone can afford them. So if you decide to work with your caregiver directly, you quickly find out that none of the infrastructure that we're used to for managing office employees exists for managing your domestic employees (and yes, your caregiver is classified by the Dept. of Labor as a W-2 employee and not a 1099 contractor). There is no easy way to set up payroll and insurance, run a background check, pay quarterly taxes and file year-end paperwork, schedule shifts, track hours, etc. So we built an entire suite of tools that helps families take care of sourcing caregivers, manage their caregivers on a daily basis (scheduling, reporting, messaging, etc), and we also take care of all administrative aspects of the W-2 employment and compliance. As a result, families now enjoy some of the same benefits they get from working with agencies without having to pay nearly as much. Please let me know if there are any areas I can dive into in more detail!

This is a great thing we need for humanity. Is it for only senior citizen?

What a great product to see on PH, especially on a Sunday while spending time with family.
