KARE

KARE is a digital labor marketplace dedicated to the senior housing and post-acute industry, designed to address critical staffing shortages by connecting qualified caregivers and nurses with senior care communities. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company provides a platform that allows healthcare professionals, referred to as 'Heroes', to find and book open shifts at nursing homes and assisted living facilities on a flexible basis. This model empowers caregivers to control their schedules and earn extra income while providing communities with a reliable source of vetted staff.

The company's innovative approach eliminates the high costs and inefficiencies of traditional staffing agencies by allowing communities to fill shifts directly through the KARE mobile app. In addition to filling temporary needs, KARE serves as a recruitment tool, enabling facilities to hire high-performing caregivers for full-time positions without placement fees. KARE's technology streamlines the entire staffing process, from credential verification to payment processing, offering features such as next-day pay to incentivize and support its network of caregivers.
