New app allows for people to choose their own caregiver

Choosing a caregiver can be an intimidating process. CaregiverUSA has developed an app that makes the selection process more inclusive and puts power back into the patient's hands.

With the BookaCare Mobile app, people in need of a caregiver can create a profile listing specific needs and schedule. Those looking for caregivers can also choose potentials from a list to then communicate with them through the app. According to CaregiverUSA, all caregivers have had their backgrouns checked and passed a thorough selection process before making it into the app. On the caregiver side of the app, they can view jobs, make appointments, monitor schedulea and look through all postings by people looking for caregivers.

"Wow, we are very excited, about launching our BookaCare mobile applications, which puts care seekers a click away from reliable home care services," R.E Dean, Chief Technology Officer of CaregiverUSA.
