I tell you that it is an absolute joy to have Patty on our [caregiving] team. She was at my dad's yesterday and he is just elated, and it is just, he's so happy and she's such a wonderful person and she's such a hard worker.
Mary has truly been a Godsend. She is providing me respite care so I can get shopping and errands done. She is a very good cook and fixes my husband supper when here.

CareLinx has basically held my hand through this whole process. It's been a lifesaver. We were very comfortable with her and I think she was with us. She jumped right into the job and helped with the care immediately. Paying my first invoice with CareLinx was easy.

Frequently asked questions
How does CareLinx work?
.svg)
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 speak with someone, call 1(866) 406-0822 to be connected with a CareLinx Care Advisor who can assist by phone.
What types of home care services do caregivers normally provide?
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?
CareLinx caregivers include 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?

Does CareLinx provide customer support for members wanting to take advantage of the benefit?
You will have access to a dedicated CareLinx Care Advisor who can assist throughout the entire matching process in cases where you want additional support. Care Advisors are available to answer any CareLinx-related questions through the enrollment and matching processes. 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?
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?
A dedicated CareLinx Care Advisor will assist you with scheduling all caregiver interviews unless you state 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. In these cases, the Care Advisor will coordinate this process.
Are there accommodations for clients who do not speak English?
Yes. Currently CareLinx can directly accommodate Spanish-speaking clients. Care Advisors also have access to a translation service via phone with representatives who can translate for most languages.
CareLinx does not employ or recommend any care provider or care seeker nor is it responsible for the conduct of any care provider or care seeker. The CareLinx website is a venue that provides tools to help care seekers and care providers connect online. Each individual is solely responsible for selecting a care provider or care seeker for themselves or their families and for complying with all laws in connection with any employment relationship they establish.
