Heroes Caregiving was a personal care agency founded in 2017 by Aubrey Dirkes, Sean Pascoe, and Christopher Pascoe. So, it was simultaneously a veteran, female, and Hispanic-founded company. Contracted with the United States Department of Veteran Affairs the same year, we quickly learned that patients and caregivers are overwhelmed, underserved, and unsatisfied. By 2022, the industry saw a 64 percent turnover rate in professional caregivers during a time of skyrocketing demand, which is expected to increase by 5.1 percent annually. Consequently, the industry saw a 76 percent patient turnover rate likely due to patient dissatisfaction. This correlation had us burning with the will to do more.
Our innovative mobile application empowers patients by granting them immediate access to skilled caregivers. It revolutionizes the personal care landscape, giving patients and caregivers unparalleled autonomy and adaptability. We prioritize the provision of highly competitive compensation to caregivers while fostering a nurturing environment that promotes growth, work-life harmony, and a sense of belonging, ultimately leading to improved well-being for caregivers and patients.
