who want peace of mind about their care. Retirement homes and healthcare

using trained caregivers who are trustworthy and compassionate, with proper checks
and basic training in place. Bookings and communication will be managed using
simple mobile tools. Income will come from hourly rates, monthly packages and
flexible service plans, while costs will include wages, transport and training. There is
a growing demand for such services due to longer life expectancy and changing
family structures. Social support also improves wellbeing and reduces isolation
among older people.
