Help Find Care Selected Small Business Challenge Finalist

Nov. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Senior home care is one of the fastest growing industries today and is primed for continued growth to the coming of age of baby boomers. In 2035, older adults will comprise 25% of the population. According to the AARP, an overwhelming majority of seniors – 89 percent – would prefer to age in their own homes, and Help Find Care makes that lifestyle choice convenient and affordable. Professional Caregivers registered on Help Find Care can be screened using background and reference checks and can offer both hourly and around-the-clock care and support. In turn, Help Find Care gives Care Seekers and their family members the tools; scheduling system and back office functionality, to easily direct and manage the care received.  These services drive home care costs down while keeping all those involved in the caregiving informed.

The Small Business Challenge℠ was started by Miami based EarlyShares.com, Inc. with the mission of stimulating job creation in America by granting the top three “Winners” cash & prizes for their small-to-medium sized businesses. “We know that small business growth is one of the keys to helping the U.S. economy bounce back,” said Maurice Lopes, founder and CEO of EarlyShares. “More than 3.5 million new businesses are founded each year, but credit is tight right now, and many entrepreneurs outside of hubs like Silicon Valley and New York have a difficult time competing for funding from venture capitalists and angel investors.”

Founded in 2011, Help Find Care is an online caregiving matching service. The company combines the best of job posting, searching, screening, pay rolling, scheduling, and ratings. Help Find Care is easy to use and free to join. “By self-administering and managing the in-home care needed and received, Help Find Care is able to offer peace of mind for older adults or people looking for in-home care and their families, while lowering the skyrocketing costs of care at home,” noted Lauren Tarrant, RN and co-founder.  

Tarrant added “the Small Business Challenge will open final voting on November 16, and we are hoping to garner additional support from those who voted for our company.  We are passionate about the need for the best affordable in-home care possible. Help Find Care offers the opportunity for the Caregivers to earn higher wages while fulfilling the needs of a growing population.” The final three winners will be based on the number of online votes received. Winners will be announced on November 23, 2012.
