How It Works

Finding trusted in-home senior care has never been simpler. Here is how to get started in just a few steps.

One App. Everything You Need.

Dwell at Home puts you in control of your loved one's care. Find caregivers, post jobs, set schedules, send messages, request background checks, and pay — all from one simple app. No agencies, no middlemen, no hassle.

Getting Started is Simple

Follow these six steps to find the right caregiver for your loved one — usually within the same day.

  1. Download the App

    Download the Dwell at Home app from the App Store or Google Play. It is free to download and takes less than a minute to get started.

  2. Create Your Profile

    Set up a profile for your loved one. Tell us about their needs, preferences, schedule, and any special considerations so we can find the right fit.

  3. Browse Caregivers

    Search available caregivers in your area. View profiles, read community reviews, check star ratings, and find someone who feels like the right match.

  4. Request a Background Check

    For extra peace of mind, you can request a background check on any caregiver before booking. Your loved one's safety always comes first.

  5. Book and Schedule

    Post your job, set the schedule, and confirm your caregiver directly through the app. No phone tag, no paperwork, no agency middleman.

  6. Message and Pay

    Stay in touch with your caregiver through the built-in messaging system. When it is time to pay, handle it all securely right inside the app.
