WeBookCare is a Mobile & Web App for Caregivers to market their home care services for Care Seekers to book, improving access to affordable, quality home care. WeBookCare has a distinct appeal over traditionally favored nursing agencies because families often end up saving money because they do not have to pay an agency mark up fee on top of caregiver wages, and the caregiver still earns more. With the advent of modern internet technologies, we help Care Seekers to find local, trusted care the way they like it. Detailed profiles, reviews, basic background checks, online payment services and direct communication with the Caregiver even if the Care Seeker is miles away are just a few benefits we offer so families have peace of mind in choosing the best care available. This structure helps save up to 50 percent versus traditional agencies, while caregivers earn up to 40 percent higher wages. With no monthly subscriptions to use the app., Care Seekers pay a per home care visit booking fee. Overnights, live-in, medication reminders, dressing & grooming, personal care, housekeeping, companionship, meals, exercise, transportation, pet care & shopping are all home care services that can be booked on a regular basis or just one time. more info
