Most healthcare happens outside the exam room, and often the most important care touchpoints happen at home where patients can struggle with adhering to care plans, completing tasks of daily living, or breaking free from social and physical isolation. In those moments, personal care is more than support with daily tasks, its an integral part of keeping people safe and healthy. At CareFinders we are dedicated to connecting more members from underserved or vulnerable populations to care through a combination of personalized services that allow us to meet members where they are every day.
Personal care services (PCS) support people (we call them members) with light clinical and non-clinical tasks, including bathing, meal preparation, and errands, that can have a measurable impact on their well-being. More than 75% of adults over the age of 50 prefer to age in place, and PCS caregivers play a vital role in keeping members safe and healthy in the comfort of their own home.
One New Jersey member’s wife shared her experience with our CareFinders team, saying, “My [husband’s] health aide does a wonderful job with whatever I need help [with]. She is always there and understands my husband's needs. She takes care of him and sits with him to keep him company. She [also] gives me a break, [so I can] go to the store and doctor's appointment[s] for myself.”
To find the proper placement for aides based on location, experience, and skillset CareFinders leverages its team of 3,500 professionals – including registered nurses and trained aides – to work together to provide thorough and thoughtful care throughout the state of New Jersey. CareFinders coordinates caregiver options – ranging from hourly care, to live-in support, to short- or long-term care – that all strive for the same goal of providing compassionate care on a local level with the highest standards, clinical compliance, and quality innovations.
Each case is unique and deserves a tailored approach in ensuring the well-being of both the member and caregiver. CareFinders prioritizes these pairings and adapts as necessary to the feedback of both parties. By listening to the needs of members and caregivers alike, Modivcare can curate matches that last for years.
A member in New Jersey shared, “I have excellent service and very reliable professionals coming from CareFinders. Thank you very much for selecting [very] good workers [who] take excellent care of me.” These stories cement our guiding direction of applying a personalized approach to at-home care.
At CareFinders, we are committed to those who wish to live in their own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, and caregivers drive that experience. Our services go further than just keeping members at home, though. From managing medication reminders to playing a game of dominoes together, members enjoy the human connection and improved quality of life that PCS can deliver.
