Meet Sarah, your advocate in Old Milton.

She speaks French, and she stays with your family visit after visit. Someone your parent knows by name.

For your parents and loved ones

A simple app for your parents and loved ones, in their own language

Big buttons and large text. They see who is coming today, ask for help in a few taps, and have an Emergency button on every main screen. Nothing to download from an app store.

The app speaks

  • English
  • العربية
  • Français
  • Español
  • हिन्दी

Find someone

Partners and Family Advocates near you

Search by name or by what you need, then filter by place, kind and language.

You know this feeling

Coordinating care is harder than anyone tells you.

You are doing it from a distance, and nobody hands you a guide.

A different stranger every week

Your parent never knows who is coming, or whether to trust them.

Nobody understands the household

The wrong language, the diet ignored, the customs misread. You explain it all again, every time.

No one nearby to call

You are in another city with an app and a list of strangers.

How it works

Three steps, then you can breathe.

1

Tell us about your mother

Her name, her language and what she needs most. About five minutes.

2

Choose people you trust

Read profiles and ratings. Your mother only sees faces you approved.

3

Stay close from anywhere

A note when a visit starts, and a summary when it ends.

Your view, beside your loved one's

Your family, your way

Bring in an advocate, or run it yourself.

Both use the same vetted helpers and drivers. You can switch any time.

The details that make distance feel smaller.

The same faces

Helpers and drivers you approve stay on your regular visits.

Their language, their culture

Choose helpers by language and background. Nothing needs explaining.

Both parents, one view

A profile for each parent, one household, one calendar.

Clear costs, no contract

Every charge itemised. No contracts, no commitments.

Coordinating from far away

Your advocate lives in your parent's time zone. They notice when something changes, and they act on it.

  • You get a notification.
  • Your parent gets a conversation.

The iCaria standard

The face at your parent's door has been checked by us.

Our team does this before anyone can take a single request.

iCaria checked providers and families
  • Identity verified
  • Two references called
  • Code of conduct, signed every year

Providers who also finish our training carry the iCaria Certified badge.

Not sure what to ask for?

Three Service Categories, one place to book.

At-Home Help

Cleaning, cooking, companionship and small jobs at home.

Drive-Me Help

A familiar driver who goes with them and waits.

Errands and Tasks

Groceries and prescriptions picked up and brought home.

Trusted local partners, near your loved one

Not only for parents

Supporting an adult with a disability, or a child with special needs? Book household help too: meals, cleaning and errands. Our helpers help the household. They do not look after a child on their own.

A family staying close across the distance

I was in Toronto. My mother was in Hamilton. Before iCaria, I did not really know who was helping her. Now I do.
