Truly Care is a marketplace that connects families seeking caregiving support with independent care providers. The platform is designed to help families and care providers find one another and communicate directly.
Truly Care is not a home health agency and does not employ care providers. Care providers using the platform operate independently and choose which opportunities may be a good fit for them.
No. Care providers on Truly Care are independent providers, not employees of the platform.
Families and care providers decide their own terms of engagement, including schedules, compensation, responsibilities, and duration of care. Truly Care does not supervise, train, or manage care providers.
Opportunities on the platform may include hands-on support in home settings, such as assistance with daily routines, companionship, and day-to-day support for individuals with disabilities or older adults.
Each family’s needs are different, and care providers review opportunity details directly with families to determine fit and expectations.

There is no obligation to accept any opportunity listed on the platform.
Schedules, compensation, and responsibilities are determined directly between families and care providers.
Truly Care does not set wages, assign shifts, or control work arrangements. All agreements are made independently between the two parties.
Experience requirements vary by family. Some families may seek providers with prior hands-on experience, while others value qualities like reliability, communication skills, patience, and willingness to learn.
Care providers are encouraged to be transparent about their background and comfort level when connecting with families.

These considerations are personal and may vary depending on individual preferences and experiences.
Payment arrangements are handled directly between families and care providers. Truly Care does not process payroll or manage payments.
