Companion Care Startup Makes Home Health Aides' Job Satisfaction Top Priority

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 10,000 Americans age into Medicare daily, many of whom prefer to receive care in the comfort of home. As this number continues to grow, so does the need for reliable home health aides.

Carefluent, a new companion care company, provides assistance with Activities of Daily Living such as meal prep, light housekeeping, transportation, physical activity, and more. In addition to these core services, Carefluent's model focuses on providing a personally customized experience for both Careseekers and Care Companions. 

"At Carefluent, treating everyone with respect and dignity is our corporate culture. We personally vet and select all of our Care Companions, so we know they're the best of the best," shares Vick. "First and foremost, our Care Companions' individual needs and preferences are an integral part of our proprietary matching algorithm. To further demonstrate our commitment, our starting hourly rate is $15; but many of our Care Companions earn over $20 per hour due to their certifications and other competencies, such as foreign language fluency. These skills are in high demand, which supports a higher rate of pay." says Founder and CEO Daphney Vick.

Carefluent prioritizes a fair pay scale in an industry where mainly minority women employees are notoriously overworked and underpaid. Our actions don't end there. We provide paid Orientation and Training, and on-demand instructional guides for continued learning and professional development. 

Each Care Companion joins as an independent contractor and is in complete control of their hours and availability. One can work as little or as often as they please.

• At least 21 years of age
• Valid Driver's License
• Clean driving record
• Pass a comprehensive background check
• Pass a drug test
• Pass the Carefluent Assessment
