How we vet care & support

A licensed or certified caregiver whose credentials and specialization are verified.

Ratings, when shown, reflect responsiveness and service only — never the quality of an outcome.

Credentials that matter
  • Clinical license/certification where applicable (Medicare-certified hospice; LPC/LCSW counselor; certified end-of-life doula)
What we check before listing
  • Verify clinical license / certification and good standing with the relevant board
  • Confirm scope of care and any specializations (palliative, grief, doula)
  • Check references and complaint history
