FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Caring People Leverages CaringOnDemand Platform to Meet the Rising
Demand for Caregivers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
NEW
YORK, March 31, 2020 (Newswire.com) –
Caring
People
, a licensed home care agency servicing seniors in NY, NJ, CT, FL and
TX, is meeting the increasing demand for caregivers during the COVID-19
pandemic by utilizing a platform that allows multiple providers to engage in a
single care delivery system, CaringOnDemand.
Steven East, CEO of Caring People, began
developing this platform five years ago as a solution to fill the increasing
need to meet seniors’ desire to remain at home and avoid institutional placement,
the demand for dedicated, committed, and passionate home care givers is at an
all-time high. Since its inception, the platform has been dubbed the “Uber
for home healthcare” due to its ability to provide access to homecare to
patients easily, efficiently, and with the touch of a button.
CaringOnDemand
links patients directly to caregivers. Patients have the unique ability to
request homecare services on an as-needed basis using the home healthcare
solution. The platform is accessible via the CaringOnDemand tablet or phone app
and has a simple, easy to use interface. Users request assistance with the
onetouch feature, track the caregiver’s estimated time of arrival and can see
the time spent in the patient’s home. Upon completion of the visit, a request
for rating and review is sent to the patient.
Due to the limited supply of caregivers
available during the spread of the COVID-19 virus the need for CaringOnDemand
has significantly increased.
“We are reaching out to every provider
who has available staff to register with CaringOnDemand, waiving licensing fees
and training costs, as well as a fast track onboarding process to expeditiously
leverage the platform to help our seniors,” Caring People CEO Steven East
said, adding, “If 50 providers in New York City each have two to five
available qualified caregivers who can assist during this crisis, we now have
an additional 100-500 caregivers who can service anywhere from 500-4,000
seniors a day.”

The health of our senior population is at
great risk during this time. Not only because they are more susceptible to falling
gravely ill due to the virus, but any secondary health needs are just that,
secondary. Seniors’ already critical home care needs are vitally important to
maintain, even in the light of the COVID-19 crisis. CaringOnDemand can help
alleviate the pressure to locate and deploy efficient and affordable home
health caregivers, keeping seniors healthy and safe.
“During this time of uncertainty, we have
a unique opportunity to align with existing caregiver initiatives and add a
tremendous value to provider and patient resources. CaringOnDemand can help
move towards the goal of excellent and efficient patient care, while being a
part of the solution in the COVID-19 crisis,” East said.
Annually, as the aging population in the
United States increases in number, the demand for senior care services has
experienced record demand year after year. Even in optimal conditions, staffing
for home health aides can be scarce, especially when it comes to certified
nursing assistants. The need for dedicated, committed and passionate homecare
providers is at an all-time high.
