How's Mom today?
Steady.
Home care you can count on.
Hire caregivers directly. AI does the rest. You choose vetted caregivers, and AI handles the schedule, backups, payments and live updates from every visit.
Companion care is typically $23.50 an hour, about 30% less than typical home care. A few hours a week is fine.
Care shouldn't cost this much.
There's no reason an hour of care should cost twice what your caregiver earns.
Home care isn't expensive because caregivers are overpaid. They aren't. It isn't expensive because margins are thin. It's expensive because the industry still runs on phone calls, spreadsheets and twenty-year-old software, and families pay for every minute of it.
We replaced the back office with AI. You and your caregiver keep the difference. See where your dollar goes
Your dog walker sends a map of every walk. Your mother's caregiver sends nothing.
Most families still find out how the day went from a sign-in sheet on the fridge. In national surveys of home care clients, communication scores lowest of anything, year after year. You should know more about Mom's afternoon than your dog's walk. Steady shows you when the caregiver arrived, what Mom ate, whether she got outside, and the small moment she shared.
A 30 minute dog walk
- A map of the route
- Photos from the park
- Exact pickup and drop-off times
- A note on how it went
A 4 hour visit with Mom
- A timesheet, signed
- A call if something goes wrong
Her doctor gets twenty minutes. Her caregivers get every week.
Each caregiver has an AI teammate that knows what to watch for. So you hear about a skipped lunch or a slower walk this week, and can bring a health report to her next appointment. In typical home care, the records belong to the company. On Steady, they belong to your family.
That's the bet behind Steady. AI gives a $17–$20 an hour caregiver expert know-how, so the person who sees Mom most can catch what matters. No credential bottleneck, and no back office.
