Caregiver for personal care
A caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming and other daily tasks that have become difficult, in a way that keeps your relative as independent as possible.
Who it's for
- A parent who struggles to wash or dress
- A family whose relative is otherwise well but needs daily help
What happens
- You tell us which tasks they need help with and how often.
- A verified caregiver is matched to the request.
- Visits are recorded, so you know they happened.
What the quote depends on
- How many hours a day or week
- Which tasks
- Where your relative lives
You request the service first. Once a provider is matched, you see their price, or a fee they've quoted, and nothing is charged until you accept it and pay.
How payment works
- Your payment is held by Welbridg, not passed to the provider, until you confirm the visit happened or 24 hours after the provider marks it delivered.
- If something goes wrong, report it within those 24 hours and the payment stays on hold while Welbridg reviews it. Welbridg can release it, refund it or split it.
- Cancel before a visit is scheduled, or more than 24 hours before it, for a full refund. Cancel later than that and 20% of that visit's price goes to the provider. If the provider cancels, you get a full refund.
Questions families ask
- Can a caregiver give medication?
- A caregiver can remind your relative to take their medication. Giving medication, dressing wounds or monitoring a condition is nursing care: request a nurse for that.
- How much does it cost?
- Prices depend on the provider, where your relative lives and what they need, so Welbridg doesn't list fixed prices. You request the service first. Once a provider is matched, you see their price, or a fee they've quoted, and nothing is charged until you accept it and pay.
- Who are the providers?
- Only providers Welbridg has verified can see and take a family's request. To be verified, a provider uploads a government-issued ID and a professional licence or certificate (an organisation uploads its CAC certificate and operating licence), and Welbridg's team reviews them.
- When does the provider get paid?
- Your payment is held by Welbridg, not passed to the provider, until you confirm the visit happened or 24 hours after the provider marks it delivered. If something goes wrong, report it within those 24 hours and the payment stays on hold while Welbridg reviews it. Welbridg can release it, refund it or split it.
- What if I need to cancel?
- Cancel before a visit is scheduled, or more than 24 hours before it, for a full refund. Cancel later than that and 20% of that visit's price goes to the provider. If the provider cancels, you get a full refund.
