Europe will need far more care at home.

The number of older people is growing fast, and there are already not enough people to care for them. Care Near is a working model of home care — with caregivers who live nearby — that can be launched in any country.

Our solution

Caregivers who live nearby

Trained caregivers visit older people in their own neighbourhood: less travel, more visits, the same person every time.

Coordinators keep every visit on track

A person approves every new match, finds replacements and sees every visit as it happens.

Municipal care and paid services

We help families get home care paid for by the municipality and offer extra services on top — two sources of revenue.

Built for any country

Services, rates and rules are country settings, not code. A new country is a new profile.

What we have

The product

Apps for the family, the client and the caregiver, the coordinator console and the admin panel; a training course with ten lessons; identity checks; the whole process from the first request to regular visits.

The expertise

We know how home care works in practice — from the municipal application to the visit itself — and what caregivers and coordinators need to do their job well.

Let’s talk

If you want to invest in an area that every forecast says will grow — and to do good at the same time — we would be glad to discuss it.
