ABOUT US

As we age, unfortunately some of us will lose the ability to do certain daily tasks on our own. Finding a qualified caregiver however can be stressful, time-consuming and expensive. So we want to help.
 

At Senior Care Connect we offer a web platform that easily connects those seeking a caregiver, with caregivers offering their services for hire. We offer families peace of mind, as all caregivers listed on our platform are pre-screened. In addition, we also help families save on the cost of care by allowing you to connect directly to individual caregivers via our platform (thus eliminating the large hourly mark-up costs affiliated with traditional home care agencies). 

We give you easy access to pre-screened caregivers at the best possible rate

Our Background:

As a social worker in hospital, Senior Care Connect’s founder, Kristal Lewis, often encountered families distraught over trying to care for their aging loved ones. Many of these families found the process of searching and arranging for care, to be stressful, time-consuming and expensive.  Having helped hundreds of families find care for their loved one, Kristal saw a clear problem; despite current solutions, families were still struggling to find quality care at the best rate possible.


Kristal thought to herself there has to be a better way to help these families, and thus Senior Care Connect was born.
