Notes like these reflect exactly why we were so drawn to the platform."

— Lawrence, Owner, LaSusa Law Offices, PLC

— Employee, RJG, Inc.

Questions Care Agencies Ask

Implementing new things is time-consuming. What does setup actually take?

About ten minutes. You create an account, upload your logo, set a monthly pledge amount and an optional per-employee match budget, and share your custom URL with your team. There's no software to install, no integration with your scheduling or payroll system, and nothing for your staff to enroll in. From there HelpLink handles intake, verification, pricing, fulfillment, and reporting.

How does this actually protect shift coverage?

Most call-offs in home-based care aren't about willingness — they're about a car that won't start, gas money, or a shutoff notice that has to be dealt with today. HelpLink resolves those specific barriers directly: we pay the creditor or buy the item, usually within a business day of a need being verified. The caregiver keeps the shift, and your scheduler isn't rebuilding the day around a gap.

Do managers have to decide who deserves help?

No, and that's deliberate. HelpLink reviews and sponsors every need against the same criteria, so no scheduler or manager is put in the position of judging one caregiver's hardship against another's. Requests are private — a caregiver doesn't have to explain their situation to the person who writes the schedule.

How much does HelpLink cost?

HelpLink's corporate giving tool is free to use. Businesses choose their own monthly pledge amount and match budget. There are no setup costs or subscription fees, and HelpLink covers all payment processing fees. For businesses that open a Reserve Fund program, a 6% fund stewardship fee applies to donations into that fund to cover compliance, reporting, and administration.
