Private-duty senior care, easier to find and coordinate at home.
Covara is a technology marketplace and coordination platform for private-duty senior care. Families discover local CNA profiles, choose the caregiver who fits their needs, coordinate visits, manage payments, and stay informed through simple family updates.
Now in pre-launch. Built for family-directed, non-medical support at home.
What Covara does
A family-choice marketplace with the coordination layer built in.
Covara assists with caregiver discovery and coordination based on the care receiver’s selected needs, required non-medical duties, caregiver experience, availability, location, and communication preferences. The family reviews the profiles and chooses who they want to contact or book.
How it works
A clearer path from “we need help” to coordinated support at home.
Covara is being built to help families move from scattered searches and text threads into one organized private-duty care workflow. Families stay in control of who they choose while Covara supports discovery, scheduling, payment organization, and family updates.
-
01
Tell Covara what support is needed
Families select non-medical care needs, preferred schedule, location, duties, communication preferences, and any important household context.
-
02
Review caregiver profiles with more context
Covara organizes caregiver profiles around experience areas, availability, service area, rate, screening status, registry verification when applicable, and references collected.
-
03
Choose who to contact or book
The family decides who feels like the right fit. Covara may surface aligned profiles, but the family remains responsible for interviewing, choosing, and continuing the care relationship.
-
04
Coordinate visits and payments
After care begins, Covara helps organize the visit schedule, expected non-medical tasks, payment flow, and basic completion status in one shared place.
-
05
Get notifications and shared family updates
Approved family members can receive visit notifications and simple family updates so the people who need access stay connected without scattered messages.
What families see
Information that supports a better decision.
- Background screening status
- State registry verification, when applicable
- National Sex Offender Public Website review
- Care experience categories
- References collected
- Family updates after visits
Screening supports decision-making, but it does not eliminate all risk. Families should still interview caregivers, ask questions, and choose the person they believe fits their loved one best.
For families
Finding care is only the first step. Coordinating it is what families live with every day.
After a fall, a rehab discharge, a dementia change, or a family-caregiver burnout point, families need a clearer way to organize support. Covara helps them build a care request, compare caregiver profile fit, choose who to contact or book, and coordinate what happens next.
I need care
Compare non-medical support for companionship, personal care, household help, transportation, and recurring visits.
Coming home from hospital or rehab
Build a first-week support plan around meals, mobility, bathroom safety, appointments, and family updates.
Dementia care at home
Look for caregivers comfortable with routine, redirection, wandering awareness, sundowning, and clear family communication.
Coordination, not just matching
Keep the care relationship organized after the family chooses.
Care request builder
Families select location, schedule, duties, mobility level, dementia support, transportation, household context, and update preferences.
Best-fit caregiver profiles
Covara surfaces caregivers who appear aligned with selected requirements. Families remain in control of who they contact or book.
Shared calendar and visit tasks
Care visits include the expected non-medical duties, arrival/completion status, and a schedule everyone can reference.
Family updates
Simple family-caregiver updates for tasks completed, meals or hydration, mood, mobility, safety observations, concerns, and notes to the family.
Concern flags and boundaries
Families and caregivers can flag no-shows, safety concerns, out-of-scope requests, and issues that need follow-up.
Payment-ready booking flow
Pre-visit authorization, visit history, cancellation visibility, and basic dispute context help reduce payment confusion.
Clear scope
Non-medical support, explained plainly.
Covara is being built to support family-directed non-medical care coordination — practical daily support at home, not skilled clinical care.

Clear answers families and caregivers will ask first.
What is Covara?
Covara is a technology marketplace and coordination platform for non-medical private-duty senior care. It helps families compare caregiver profiles, coordinate visits, and stay informed.
Who chooses the caregiver?
The family does. Covara can surface caregiver profiles that appear aligned with selected needs, but the family reviews profiles and chooses who to contact or book.
Does Covara provide medical care?
No. Covara is designed around non-medical support. Skilled care, medication administration, clinical monitoring, therapy, and emergency services should be handled by the appropriate licensed provider.
How does Covara approach caregiver trust?
Covara is being built with caregiver profile review, identity and background screening, CNA credential status where applicable, references collected, and clear family updates. Families still choose who they want to contact or book.
What makes Covara different from a directory?
Covara is not just a list of caregivers. The coordination layer includes structured care requests, fit preferences, scheduling, task expectations, family updates, concern flags, and family communication.
Is Covara available now?
Covara is in pre-launch. Families and caregivers can create an account now as the first network is built — and if we’re not open in your state yet, you can join the interest list and we’ll reach out as we open.
