Problem

In home care services, actual care quality depends on individual caregivers' skills and temperament, not the agency. Dementia care experience, ability to care for male seniors, communication style—these factors determine compatibility, yet the current system has agencies unilaterally assigning caregivers with no choice for families. Requesting a replacement creates weeks-long gaps, and finding a good caregiver locks you into that agency. Families have no portability or transparency.

Solution

1) Caregivers voluntarily register profiles listing experience, specializations, and care style 2) Family members input parent's condition (dementia type, mobility level, personality) for compatibility-scored matching recommendations 3) Post-service reviews accumulate into a caregiver trust portfolio

Target: Certified caregivers with 3+ years of experience seeking better compensation and matching (Supplier side), and adult children aged 40–60 dissatisfied with current in-home care quality for their parents (demand side)
Revenue Model: $11.25 per matching request (family side), $7.40/mo Premium Profile for caregivers, agency referral commission
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
