New Homecare Company Helps Solve Elderly Care in Manchester
A Manchester tech start-up is looking to revolutionise care for the elderly. Covering all of Greater Manchester, Holm is a brand-new way to help elderly people find private home care.
Having shared the same frustrations as many people looking for help, one of Holm’s founders created a website where people can book carers directly, rather than having to use an expensive care agency.
They understand the difficulties in finding the perfect carer. Holm is committed to improving homecare for everyone. Whether you’re buying care for yourself, a loved one, or providing care, Holm believes that you should be treated with care and respect.
Holm has brought affordable home care into the tech space and into people’s homes. As well as helping families find home care, Holm also helps out carers by paying them a fair wage for the work they do. Agencies typically take 80% on top of what their carers earn, we only charge 20%. The rest goes to the carer.
You can find the best carer to help by simply going to the website and finding the person you like. You don’t even have to arrange one of those long and complicated assessments. You can do it all in as little as 15 minutes. Holm carers don’t have impossible targets to reach or lots of paperwork to fill in, freeing them up to spend at least an hour caring for their client and enjoying their job.
Holm’s team has many years of experience providing care for the elderly and realised there had to be a better way to provide care. Founding member, Nik said “We wanted only carers who were good enough to look after our own loved ones.”
Holm vets, interviews and references all carers who apply to register on Holm. By only selecting the best 1% of applicants, families can rest assured that they’re getting the best care in Manchester.
Domiciliary care shouldn’t be expensive. Holm’s basic rates start at just £12.00 per hour, and if you use the code ‘WECARE’ when you first register, you’ll get the first hour of care completely free.
