Every placement starts with a screener

No caregiver is placed until our geriatric team has seen the patient and approved the level of care.

01

The screener

Our geriatric team assesses your parent at home. This decides whether Eldercare is appropriate, and at what level.

02

Match and place

We match a trained caregiver on skill, language and temperament, and introduce them before the placement begins.

03

Ongoing review

A named supervisor visits, the geriatrician reviews, and daily logs reach you in Aegis EMR.

What makes this different

A caregiver, not a nurse

The market sells caregiving as home nursing. We name it correctly and staff it correctly.

Approved by a geriatrician

No placement without a screener. The clinical team decides, not a placement agent.

Supervised, not dropped off

A named supervisor visits, reviews the work in person and is reachable by the family.

Visible from anywhere

Daily logs, vitals and medication adherence in Aegis EMR, wherever you are in the world.

Daily support for later life

Our caregivers support the daily living needs of these conditions. Clinical management sits with the geriatrician.
