Who is Care4Giver for?
It is for all seniors who need support at home. Supporting a loved one is demanding. Period. Care4giver is here to take over:
Why it's better
The Care4Giver service was designed to offer an optimal combination of peace of mind, control and low cost for senior care. You can immediately browse profiles and select the caregiver of your choice. You choose the caregiver. You have full control. It is the simplest way to relieve your fatigue while keeping control of care for your loved one.
- See for yourself each caregiver's skills.
- Know whether they have passed a background check
- Certificates must be uploaded to the site to be displayed. Services that require certification are not shown until certificates have been uploaded.
- If desired, services can be tracked and you receive a report
- With the Care4giver mobile app you can track arrivals and departures and stay in touch by text, call or video call during the service.
- Ratings and reviews of caregivers are verified (i.e. given by clients who have actually worked with the CG)
- Every caregiver has every reason to offer you the highest quality of service, to maintain the highest possible rating. When they work for an agency, it is the agency's name that matters. With Care4giver, it is the reputation of their own name that is at stake.
Browse the directory and book anytime
Care4giver is always open. We offer a 24/7 service to connect you with independent caregivers. We give you access to detailed information to decide who you want to hire. You decide when you need this support. Everything is at your fingertips.
Background checks and other identification information
Background checks are essential when choosing a caregiver. Each caregiver's profile will show whether they have successfully completed one. The report must be provided at registration before the profile is included in our directory. Care4Giver uses a reputable service present in more than 100 countries so each caregiver can obtain a background check and enter the directory as soon as it is done. It is the same check that governments and government agencies require of their employees. Caregivers must upload every certificate and professional identification number so their expertise is displayed and they can offer it.
A fair price
Rates shown are based directly on what caregivers themselves charge for their services. We are not an agency, which means we do not have the same high operating costs. We are a care marketplace platform. We add modest administrative fees to your invoice to keep this platform running and offer some services to caregivers who need them.
Track service delivery
Using our app, each caregiver checks in and checks out. During the service period (15 minutes before the appointment starts until the caregiver leaves), you stay in contact with the voice, video or chat communication tool. This tool ensures you know the caregiver is on the way and with your loved one as planned. Safe and convenient for everyone!
Registration and booking caregivers
Registration is free and you automatically get access to detailed information about caregivers in our directory. When you are ready to book a caregiver, simply complete your loved one's registration form. This form helps the caregiver you hire understand your loved one's physical, emotional and mental needs. Booking is done online, directly on each caregiver's schedule. Once booked, the caregiver has 24 hours to accept or decline. If you hear nothing by the end of that period, your booking is automatically cancelled. You will be notified by email and by a notification in your Care4Giver account. You can view all your scheduled bookings and transaction history on your account page.
Billing and payments
Payments are made online by credit card on our platform. The booking amount is pre-authorized on your card when you reserve the caregiver's time. The amount is charged to your card and held as a deposit once the caregiver has agreed to provide the service.
Funds are paid to the caregiver once the service has been rendered. If it is not, you will receive a full refund. Caregivers digitally check in on arrival and check out on departure with GPS confirmation or by using the phone at the client's home. That way you can be sure the service was provided. You can also communicate with them during the appointment using the app.
