How We Compare to Other Options Finding care shouldn't be confusing. Here's how a single investment in our service stacks up against the alternatives. If you try to do it alone: You might spend $200 on job ads, but the real cost is the hours you'll lose sorting through unqualified applicants. You retain full control, but the stress of vetting strangers can be overwhelming. If you choose us: Our one-time fee of $950 to $1,800 replaces those hours of stress. You still pay your caregiver's hourly wage directly, but you avoid the high, ongoing markup of an agency. You stay in complete control of the choice, without the chaos of the search. If you go with a traditional agency: You'll face no upfront fee, but you'll pay significantly more every single month—often $4,000 or more for 30 hours of weekly care. While the agency manages scheduling, you often have little say in who shows up at your door.
Q1: Why should I use your service instead of just posting the job myself on a website like Care.com or Craigslist? A: With 30 years of experience in this industry, we know that finding a caregiver isn't just about posting an ad—it’s about finding the right fit. We save you hours of work by handling the screening process, weeding out unqualified applicants, and only sending you candidates who meet your specific criteria. You aren't just paying for a job post; you are paying for an expert partner to manage the chaos of recruitment so you can focus on making the final choice. Q2: I don't understand the pricing. Why is there a difference between the Essential and Concierge options? A: The difference is about how much hands-on support you want. The Essential Search ($950) is our comprehensive screening service—we handle the sourcing and vetting and deliver the resumes to you. The Concierge Search ($1,800) is a full-service, white-glove experience where we also manage interviews and reference checks for you. Both are a single, one-time investment for a partner dedicated to protecting your family, with no monthly fees or hidden costs. Q3: What happens if I don't like any of the candidates you send me? A: Our goal is to find you the right match, not just any match. If the first batch of resumes doesn’t feel right, or if your needs change, we go back to work. Our service includes a continuous search until you hire. We utilize our extensive network and 30 years of industry connections to keep finding new leads until you find "the one." Q4: How do you define a "qualified" candidate? A: After 30 years, we know the difference between a resume and a real candidate. We define "qualified" as someone who has submitted a complete application, possesses the relevant experience you requested (whether that's dementia care, mobility assistance, etc.), and has passed our initial common-sense screening. For our Concierge clients, we take this a step further by verifying their references and conducting interviews to ensure they are ready for your final review. Q5: Can you help me find specialized care, like a nurse for someone with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's? A: Absolutely. Our 30 years of experience spans the full spectrum of home care needs. When you share your requirements, we tailor our search to find candidates with the specific certifications and condition-specific experience you require. We have a vast network of professionals, from home health aides to specialized nurses. Q6: What is the exact difference between the "Essential" and "Concierge" plans? A: Think of it as how much hands-on help you want. · Essential ($950): We do the heavy lifting of finding, screening, and delivering the resumes. You take over from there to conduct interviews. · Concierge ($1,800): We hold your hand the entire way. We do all the interviewing and reference checking for you, so you only have to meet the final 2-3 top candidates who are ready to be hired. It’s full-service matching. Q7: How long does it usually take to find a caregiver? A: While every search is unique, our 30 years of experience allows us to be very efficient. In many cases, we can begin sending you qualified matches within the first week of posting. However, the timeline depends on the specific requirements of the role and the job market in your specific area. We stick with you until the right person is found.
