Frequently asked

Is this medical care?

No. Tinalas is a non-medical home care registry. Our caregivers do not perform clinical tasks such as wound care, injections or skilled nursing. For medical needs, speak with your physician or a licensed home health agency.

How many hours can we book?

Entirely up to you and your caregiver, from a few hours a week to daily support, overnight or live-in arrangements. Schedules are agreed directly with your independent caregiver.

Can we change caregivers if needs change?

Yes. Your membership gives you access to the whole registry, so you can interview other caregivers whenever your situation changes.

What if my parent resists having help at home?

This is very common. Many families start with a few companion-care hours a week, framed as company rather than care. Most seniors warm to it quickly once they meet the right person.
