Looking for a caregiver, but not sure who to "trust" or where to begin?
Don't worry. Most families don't.
We've spent a lot of time understanding care in Goa, the people who provide it and what families usually need. So give us a call. Tell us what's happening and we'll help you understand your options and figure out what makes sense.
Good care is
Good care is
There are many ways to care. We're only good at a "few."
Daily Assistance
When a little help through the day is all you need.
• Keeping the house in order.
• Getting to appointments.
• Remembering medicines.
• Getting through the day.
24/7 Personal Care
When they need a little more personal help.
• For bathing and dressing.
• For eating and using the washroom.
• Help with other deeply personal things.
• Provide patient, respectful support.
Mobility Support
For when getting around isn't as easy as it used to be.
• Getting out of bed.
• Walking to the bathroom.
• Moving around the house.
• Going outside.
Post Hospitalisation
Coming home should make things easier for everyone.
• Following the doctor's instructions.
• Getting used to the new routine.
• Support through the recovery.
• Helping your folks settle back home.
We’re here for "good folks" in bad times.
We're three kids with ageing parents.
We know what the worry feels like. We know what the guilt feels like. We know what it means to be far away and not fully trust the care that's happening at home. And we couldn't find the kind of care we wanted for our own families.
So we built
Because we suspected we weren't alone. Because we couldn't find the answers we needed. Because we realised that finding a person was only one small part of the solution.
We are just folks who care helping folks who care.
What makes us "good?"
Our effort. We know we're not the best. We know there's a lot that we're yet to learn. And we also know that care is not easy to provide. That's why we're trying really hard to build "goodfolks" differently, across every stage of the journey.
Sourcing
From communities, not databases
Training
Taught to care, not just do tasks
Placing
Matched, not assigned
Care Management
Staying involved, not just placement
Who are we "building" this with?
Good care needs more than one pair of hands.
We want to work with people who know care from different sides: doctors, medical professionals, NGOs, training organisations, hospitals, community groups, caregivers and families. If you have something that can help us build better care, we'd like to hear from you. It's only when good folks come together that good care can happen.
We're starting where we live, "Goa"
We're starting in Goa because this is where our folks are, our families are and the community we know is. And we'd like to build something here that can make care a little better for everyone.
