Better-paid caregivers. More consistent care.

Home care has a turnover problem. When caregivers are underpaid they move on, and families keep starting over with someone new. Keep Safe Care was built to change that.

2/3goes to your caregiver1/3runs the agency

That’s our 2/3 Rule®. Caregivers earn two-thirds of what you pay for care, so good caregivers stay, and your loved one sees familiar faces week after week.

How we’re different

  • No contracts, no minimums

    Book as little as one hour a week and adjust the schedule as needs change, with no long-term commitment.

  • A sliding fee scale

    The more hours you need each week, the lower your hourly rate. Our own technology keeps overhead down, and we pass the savings on.

  • Insured and bonded

    Every Keep Safe Care caregiver is insured and bonded, for your family’s protection and theirs.

  • Visits you can see

    Caregivers check in and out with GPS, and tasks, photos and messages are tracked in our app in real time, so your family knows how every visit went.

See all questions

When should post-surgery care start?

Ideally on the day your loved one comes home. Call us before the discharge date if you can, so a caregiver is ready.

Do you provide nursing care after surgery?

No. We provide non-medical support. Wound care and therapy come from a home health agency, and our caregivers can help with everything in between.
