Built around real family life

Every family's day looks different. Your caregiver should fit yours.

Corporate care sites treat you like a search result. We start with the person you are caring for: who they are, what helps them feel calm, and what you need to keep going.

For example

A dad with a teenage son with autism

He works days and needs someone his son already knows for afternoons. Changes in routine are hard, so the same face every day matters more than anything.

What helps: a caregiver with ABA experience, a set weekly schedule, and a clock-in alert when the shift starts.

For example

A daughter caring for her mom from across town

Her mom wants to stay in her own home. She needs company, help with lunch, and a ride to appointments, plus peace of mind that someone is accountable.

What helps: a companion caregiver with CPR and First Aid, and knowing the caregiver works for a company that stands behind the hire.

For example

Parents who have not had a night off in a year

Their daughter has complex needs, and they are her full-time caregivers. They love her completely, and they are tired. A few hours of respite each week would change everything.

What helps: a respite caregiver experienced with special needs, on a schedule the family sets.

These are illustrative examples of the families Insured Care is built for. They are not customer stories or testimonials.

How it works

Three simple steps to care you can count on

You stay in charge of who you hire and what the job includes. We take care of everything behind it.

1

Find the right caregiver

Tell us who you are caring for. Browse vetted caregivers near you for senior, special-needs, or respite care, and filter by the credentials you need.

2

Agree on the details together

Talk with the caregiver directly. Together you agree on the hourly rate, the schedule, and what the job includes, until it feels right for both of you.

3

We handle the rest

Your caregiver works as an Insured Care employee. We run payroll and a GPS time clock you can see, and bill you by bank transfer (ACH). No paperwork piling up on your kitchen table.

What if something goes wrong?

It is the question every family asks. We built Insured Care to answer it.

When you hire someone on your own, the worry often lands on you. Who is responsible if there is an accident in the home? Will homeowners insurance help? With Insured Care, you are not left figuring that out alone.

A blanket policy designed to protect families

Protection is part of every hire from the start. There are no insurance add-ons to shop for and no upsells.

Vetted caregivers who work for us

Caregivers are vetted before they join and are W-2 employees of Insured Care, so there is a company standing behind the person in your home.

You can see when care starts and ends

Caregivers clock in and out with a GPS time clock, and you can see it. You always know when someone arrived and when they left.

Real people to call

If something feels off, you reach a local team that knows your family and your caregiver. Accountability sits behind every hire, so you are not sorting it out by yourself.

Protection details are shared with you in writing before you hire. This page is a general overview and is not a description of any specific policy or coverage.

One simple monthly fee. No surprises.

No tiers, no setup fee, and no paying extra just to message a caregiver. You pay one simple monthly fee, plus the hourly rate you and your caregiver agreed on.

Questions families ask

Frequently asked questions

How is Insured Care different from a caregiver marketplace?
On a marketplace, you usually find someone and then you are on your own. With Insured Care, you still choose your caregiver and agree on the rate together, and then we stand behind the hire. Caregivers are vetted Insured Care employees, protection is part of every hire, and we handle payroll and billing.
Who employs the caregiver?
Insured Care does. Caregivers are W-2 employees on our payroll, so you do not have to set up payroll or act as a household employer yourself.
How does payroll work?
We run payroll through an established payroll provider. Caregiver hours come from the time clock, we pay the caregiver every two weeks or twice a month (their choice), and we bill your family for the hours worked by ACH bank transfer.
Can I see when my caregiver clocks in and out?
Yes. Caregivers clock in and out on a GPS time clock app, and your family can see when each shift starts and ends.
What does it cost?
One simple monthly fee, plus the hourly rate you and your caregiver agree on. There is no setup fee, no tiers, and it is month to month. Founding Caregivers never pay a fee, ever.
What kind of protection comes with a hire?
Every hire comes with a blanket policy designed to protect families, with no add-ons or upsells. We share the details with you in writing before you hire.
Do you help families of children and adults with special needs?
Yes. Special-needs and respite care are at the heart of Insured Care. You can filter caregivers by experience and credentials such as ABA, BCBA, CPR, and First Aid.
Do you accept Medi-Cal or other programs?
Not yet. Right now, Insured Care is private pay. We may add other payment options in the future.
