Frequently asked questions

How does CareLinx work?

Up Arrow

CareLinx is an online platform that helps connect families with professional, non-medical caregivers in their area.  CareLinx provides “technology with a human touch” – families can access an online portal to view caregivers, message with them, select them and create individualized tasks for them to assist in the home.  If you would prefer to work with a dedicated advisor, CareLinx provides a dedicated toll-free number, 1-866-241-7930  to be connected with a CareLinx Care Advisor who can assist by phone.

What types of home care services do caregivers normally provide?

Up Arrow

Caregivers can assist with a range of activities related to daily living and non-medical support -- mobility, bathing, grooming, exercise, meal preparation, transportation for errands, companionship, and more.  Caregivers can also provide limited assistance with your medications by providing reminders and/or taking you to pick up medications. However, caregivers are not authorized to administer or dispense medication.

Are caregivers licensed and how are they screened?

Up Arrow

CareLinx caregivers come from a wide range of professionals including retired RNs.  Some caregivers will have a CNA or HHA, but it is not required to be a caregiver.  CareLinx conducts extensive background screenings and offers continuing education for caregivers to ensure the best quality of care.  Our Care Advisors will work with you to match you with a caregiver who has the experience that meets your individual needs.

How do I contact CareLinx to get started?

Care Advisors will continue to support families by helping to address any care need changes or future questions.

How soon after members enroll will caregiving services start?

Up Arrow

When you call CareLinx and identify there is a need, it will take around 5 days to match with a caregiver. Scheduling the first caregiver visit is based upon your preference for a start date.  Note: for more rural areas, this process may take around 14 days.

Can members message and schedule interviews with caregivers without CareLinx’s assistance?

Up Arrow

A dedicated CareLinx Care Advisor will assist you with scheduling all caregiver interviews unless you express that you would like to coordinate alone.  Some members may choose not to interview and, rather, have a caregiver matched with them on their behalf.  The Care Advisor will also coordinate this process should you choose so.

Are there accommodations for clients who do not speak English?

Up Arrow

Yes, CareLinx can directly accommodate any Spanish-speaking clients currently.  Care Advisors also have access to a translation service via phone with representatives who can translate for most languages.
