SuperCarers: A New Alternative to Residential Care Homes
There may come a time when you or loved one are struggling to remain self-sufficient at home – whether due to dementia, mobility issues, or simply old age taking its toll. Trying to balance safety and independence can be tricky, and you’ll no doubt be faced with some very difficult decisions.
Live-in care allows you or a loved one to stay in the comfort of your own home and retain a quality of life that you might have feared lost. However, while live-in care is typically more affordable than residential care homes, it is still a significant expense.
SuperCarers is an alternative to traditional agencies in which care seekers are matched directly with experienced, vetted carers with the skills and qualities they need. SuperCarers then provides all the tools required for the family and carers to easily manage the care themselves, from scheduling through to payment. This cuts out the need for an agency middle-man, resulting in lower costs for the family – with carers still taking home considerably more than the industry average for their hard work.
How are we different from a traditional care provider?
Choice
With SuperCarers, you personally select every single carer who joins your team.
Our algorithms will shortlist the carers who match your requirements and invite them to apply for the job. You can view the resulting bids, messages and detailed carer profiles, and get in touch with those carers directly before making any decisions. We know that the best care results from great relationships, so finding the right fit is critical.
Continuity
Because every customer has chosen their care team, they know that the same friendly faces will return every visit – allowing bonds to be formed and routines learned.
Quality
Every carer we list has been vetted to the highest standards, where we look for values in addition to experience as well as qualifications. As a result, less than 5% of applicants make it onto the platform.
Affordable
Our platform lowers the cost of care in comparison to traditional care agencies, passing on these savings to you and your carer. We are proud to enable higher pay than the industry average while still saving customers money – because fantastic carers deserve to be looked after, too.
How does the platform work?
We can help you find the perfect carer in just a few simple steps:
- Tell us what you need – share your requirements and tell us what’s important to you
- Choose a carer – we find a selection of suitable and available carers, and let you decide which you’d like to contact
- Get to know each other – we encourage you to speak either in person or over the phone, to be sure it is a perfect fit
- Organise your care – once you have selected your carer(s), our technology will make finalising arrangements simple
