Frequently asked

Do caregivers perform medical tasks?
No. All support is non-medical. Caregivers assist with daily living, mobility, meals, transportation and companionship.
Can care be short-term?
Yes. Many families arrange a few weeks of support after surgery or a hospital discharge, then stop or continue as needed.
Can the same caregiver cover several needs?
Often yes. Many caregivers offer personal care alongside meal preparation, transportation and light housekeeping.
How quickly can support start?
Most families message caregivers the same day and begin care within a few days, depending on schedules.
