How it works

How Elaine works

Arranging non-medical home care takes about five minutes in the Elaine Care app. You are never charged until a visit ends.

Three steps

  1. Download the app and describe the care

    Add the person receiving care, their address, and what help they need — personal care, companionship or homemaking.

  2. Request a visit and confirm the total

    Choose the date, time and length. The app shows one total for the visit before you confirm it.

  3. See who is coming

    When a verified caregiver accepts, you see their name, photo and certification. You are notified when they clock in and out, and you receive their visit note.

Who the caregivers are

Every caregiver on Elaine is identity-verified and background-checked, with the check re-run annually. Personal care is performed by caregivers holding a current Ohio STNA or CNA. You can mark a caregiver as preferred so future requests go to them first.
