The person who created an account for a family member or friend becomes the Care Administrator for that Careseeker. The Care Administrator manages all aspects of care for the Careseeker and can add and remove family and friends from the Care-Circle. The roll of Care Administrator can be reassigned to another person in the Care-Circle at any time. Other non-administrative members of the Care-Circle can log into the Well Beyond Care system to review and be informed of services provided to the Careseeker.

The Careseeker is the individual who will be receiving care from a Caregiver. While a spouse, adult child, or parent may be the one who is looking for a Caregiver, when "Careseeker" is used on the website, it means the person receiving care and the one you create an account for. A Careseeker (or recipient) can have up to 10 Family Members or individuals added to their Care-Circle. Only one of these members can have administrative rights to manage the care of the Careseeker.

A Care-Pair is when a Careseeker hires a Caregiver. Care-Pair hours are the hours that a Caregiver works for a Careseeker.

Your Care-Circle is comprised of the members of your family, friends or guardians who have permission to access your account under their own log in. You can add up to 10 individuals who are kept up to date of your caregiving status. You can also remove these individuals from your Care-Circle as you see fit. One member of your Care-Circle may act as your Care Administrator and manage all aspects of your account.

A Nurse Care-Pair Manager is a Registered Nurse who works with Well Beyond Care and has experience within home care, geriatric care and/or hospice care. The minute you set up your account, you are assigned a Nurse Care-Pair Manager to help you with your profile creation. They also offer advice on how to hire a Caregiver and what healthcare resources are available in your area.

Well Beyond Care was started because Jeffrey Fry (our founder) was forced to take care of his mother when his brother died unexpectedly. During those 7 years, he discovered the incredibly poor quality of care, the unfair wages given Caregivers, and the unreliable care given to his mother using private duty agencies. He was convinced there was a better way.

A growing number of people want to stay in their own home as they age. Family members are more often living out-of-state or unable to assist and it is hard to find safe and affordable long-term care and companionship for their loved one. While many families cannot afford the exorbitant rates of traditional homecare agencies, they also realize that they need to know how to self direct care and prepare for the future. We know, at Well Beyond Care, that we will live longer lives than in past generations and a solution is needed. By finding a Caregiver that is the Right Fit at the Right Price with the Right Guidance and Support, we will reduce hospital stays, cost, emergency room visits as well as STRESS. Our mission it to take care to the next level.

Obtaining care for yourself or someone you love is a stressful event and that you want someone there who can help. That is why when you sign up, you get an experienced Hospice or Home Health Registered Nurse (call them Nurse Care-Pair Managers or NCPMs who is there to help you through this process and give your information on resources in your area, to keep you or your loved one safely in their home.

We believe care is personal and local, and that is why the majority of our nurses are located in the same area that the person receiving care resides and not somewhere in a far-off call center. Having a caregiver come into your home is a fearful transition and our NCPMs are there to “hold your hand” during the process. We also know that the vast majority of people looking for care will be the adult children of the elderly and, in most cases, will be more than 100 miles away from their loved ones. That is why we made a propriety system to allow as many or as few disbursed family members be involved in or be notified of the process of while finding the “Right Caregiver” and managing the care going forward. Part of this care process is the development of a Plan-of-Care, again being the only company to integrate that functionality into our care management system.

No other on-line company connects healthcare providers to individuals in the home through an automated messaging system. Many adults and children with compromised health will need the person caring for them to be trained first hand by professionals, and we help facilitate that as well. Emergent care or hospital stays will be reduced without improved communication and professional healthcare transition between healthcare providers and those in their home.

We help families in six different ways: First, Well Beyond Care can save a family between $10,000 and $30,000 over using a private duty agency. We are passionate about making in-home care accessible and affordable for those who would never consider having a caregiver primarily due to cost.

Secondly, the two biggest issues with private duty care are no-shows (truancy) and turnover (different caregivers from day to day or week to week). Since we are more than just a matching company we are all about helping families find the perfect caregiver that is reliable, dependable, qualified and consistent; and teaching Careseekers (and their love ones) how to manage their own care affordably. We eliminate truancy and turnover with your caregiver by first allowing Careseeker to pick the most compatible Caregivers, and then secondly, by allowing a higher hourly rate. In conjunction, these two features insure Caregivers show up, and continue to offer wonderful care.

Third, with our proprietary tools we can involve ALL family members, as no matter where they are located, in the management and notifications of your care. In addition, this system also allows your healthcare service provides (such as your primary care physician, pharmacist, cardiologist, etc.) to be informed during transitions between medical facilities and the home.

Fourth, and maybe the most important, when you create an account and hire a Caregiver, you will get a Registered Nurse to help assist you with the process of finding and hiring the perfect caregiver as well as give you advice to healthcare resources in your area.

Fifth, since your caregiver is your employee he or she can be trained to do tasks (such a medication management, changing dressings, giving supplements, cleaning catheters, etc.) any family member can do that is under the supervision of a home health nurse. By State law, private duty caregivers are forbidden to do such tasks.

Finally, it is all about reducing stress not only for the person receiving care but all the family members involved deciding on what care should be given: from the hiring, interviewing, scheduling, payroll, messaging, screening and managing of caregivers, to taking care of all the little “back office details” that having your own employee involves.

Home care represents a wide range of private and community-based services that support an aging relative so they can live independently and safely in their own home. Home care is often used when recuperating from an acute situation, such as a hip fracture, or for persons with on-going chronic conditions, such as stroke, long-term weakness or just aging. The skills and duties of a person performing the home care vary. You may want a companion, a Certified Nurse Assistant or just a driver. With Well Beyond Care, the choice is yours.

Transitional care is the coordination and continuity of healthcare during movement from one healthcare setting to either another or to home. Older adults who suffer from a variety of health conditions often need healthcare services in different settings to meet their many needs. By transitioning care between the communities, Well Beyond Care helps reduce the stress by improving communication and training amongst families and healthcare providers.
