The tool
What is Care Companion?
A coordination platform connecting self-employed carers directly with the families who need them — everything a client's circle needs lives in one place, free to start.
Free, for everyone
Every family and every carer gets this free, with no time limit — it's the entry point that solves the discovery problem an agency leaves behind: finding each other in the first place, and having somewhere to keep the arrangement organised once you have. This is the shared coordination surface both sides rely on day to day, so it stays free for good — nothing here disappears if a carer's own paid plan ever lapses.
- Circle setup and client profile (intake form, client details)
- Condition-driven Care Plan (COPD, dementia, Alzheimer's, cancer, Parkinson's, heart failure, stroke) plus Safety & Capacity
- Shift scheduling, availability and the shared calendar
- Visit logging — carers document every visit
- Document templates, plus a signed contract per client
- Member management — invites, join codes, roles
- Up to 2 clients per carer
Plans we're building
The tiers below are our current plan for what gets built next, shown so carers and families can see where this is headed — pricing and the exact feature set are still being worked out and may change before anything is billed.
For carers — running your business
Sold to the carer, independent of what any family pays. Deliberately scoped to tools only the carer uses — nothing a family relies on day to day ever sits behind this, so a carer pausing their own subscription never takes anything away from a client they're already working with.
- Everything in Free
- Unlimited clients
- Auto-filled contracts (client data merged into templates)
- Auto-generated timesheets from visit logs
- Auto invoicing against your own rates & mileage
For families — extra coordination
Sold to the family_admin. Scheduling, the care plan, and every document stay free regardless — this is for the extras on top, for a family that wants closer day-to-day coordination rather than everything running quietly in the background.
- Everything in Free
- Messages (family ↔ carer)
- Task lists (household duties)
The free plan is enough to get a family and their carer set up and coordinating today — no card required.
