Company Summary
What if there was another, affordable option to provide assistance to the growing aging population in America the market?
Right now we're seeing an increase in an aging population which will need supportive services that won't be matched by our nation's safety nets. With an added desire to stay with one's family and household, there are not enough visiting registered nurses at the moment to assist those in need. My solution is to take the current assistance model and turn it into a marketplace. We aim to create a community of able bodied helpers & medical professionals to assist the aging population on a rental/hourly basis in their own homes at the click of a mouse. Aging in place meets the sharing economy. For example if someone's mother in law needs to go to a doctor's appointment and neither your wife or you can get out of work to take her, there's an option to call on someone to drive her and wait with her until the doctor is able to see her and then drive her home safely.
