CareLinx Assisted Living Services Review

Assisted Living Options

CareLinx specializes in home healthcare, and it employs a network of qualified caretakers all over the country. This gives families the freedom to customize the level of support they need. It might only be one or two days a week or a few hours each day. Home healthcare can also be more affordable than moving to an assisted living facility and many individuals feel more comfortable remaining in their own home than moving to a new environment. If any of these things appeal to you or your family member requiring care, CareLinx is an ideal place to begin your search for assisted living services.

Service Area

CareLinx has caregivers across the country. The number of options you have will depend on your area, which is true of any assisted living service. City dwellers will have a greater number of caretakers to choose from while rural residents may only have one or two. You can quickly view the CareLinx caretakers in your area by entering your ZIP code into the tool on the company's website.

Ease of Use

CareLinx blends the best of technology and human care to deliver a seamless, personalized experience to every customer. You start by describing the individual requiring care and the kind of care they need. Then, you enter your ZIP code to see who is available in your area. You can read their bios and see their hourly rates and message them directly to decide which caretaker is right for you or your loved one.

Family members can speak to their caretaker and monitor their activities through the CareLinx mobile app for Apple and Android devices. They can also coordinate tasks with the caretaker, like preparing medications. This gives you the peace of mind knowing that your loved one is being adequately cared for. Traditional assisted living services don't allow for this kind of hands-on monitoring, so CareLinx is a better choice for family members who want to be able to be there for their loved ones but aren't able to do so all the time.

Another plus is the transparent pricing. Few other assisted living services clearly list their pricing upfront like CareLinx, so you don't have to spend hours researching an assisted living facility only to realize that it doesn't fit within your budget. All prices are clearly listed on each search page and in each individual's bio page.

Online Resources

CareLinx doesn't provide the online educational resources that many assisted living services do to help families learn about state laws related to caregiving or how to choose the right place for their loved one. But this isn't a huge omission because you can find this information elsewhere on the internet. Plus, when it comes to choosing the right caregiver for your family, most people can get a sense for who's a good fit by talking with them.
