Looking for a caregiver, but not sure who to "trust" or where to begin?
Don't worry. Most families don't.
We've spent a lot of time understanding care in Goa, the people who provide it and what families usually need. So give us a call. Tell us what's happening and we'll help you understand your options and figure out what makes sense.
Good care is
Good care is
We take care of the "care"
We find and train caregivers who know how to care, not just do the tasks. And we stay involved after they start, supporting the caregiver and family along the way.
Carefully sourced
Caregivers are vetted before they enter a Goodfolks home.
Standardised care
Training and protocols help make care consistent.
Actively managed
We stay involved through family and caregiver feedback.
We’re here for "good folks" in bad times
We're three kids with ageing parents.
We know what the worry feels like. We know what the guilt feels like. We know what it means to be far away and not fully trust the care that's happening at home. And we couldn't find the kind of care we wanted for our own families.
So we built
Because we suspected we weren't alone. Because we couldn't find the answers we needed. Because we realised that finding a person was only one small part of the solution.
We are just folks who care helping folks who care.
What makes us good?
Our effort. We know we’re not the best. And that’s why we’re trying really hard to build goodfolks differently, across every stage of the journey.
Referred. Then interviewed hard.
Every caregiver comes through people we trust. Then they go through a structured interview that looks at their experience, intent and how they communicate with families.
Training
5 days. 1 exam. 70% to pass. Caregivers spend five days learning hands on with a seasoned caregiver, including live demonstrations and practical training. Anyone who scores below 70% doesn't get placed.
Onboarding
You meet them before they arrive.
We don't leave good care to chance. We've deliberately designed a system around every stage of the care journey.
Management
We stay with you after day one.
We visit every week for the first three weeks, then once a month. Care is logged daily, and your family gets an update every week.
Who are we "building" this with?
Good care needs more than one pair of hands.
We’re already working with people who know care from different sides: doctors, medical professionals, NGOs, training organisations, hospitals, community groups, caregivers and families.
We're starting where we live, "Goa"
We're starting in Goa because this is where our folks are, our families are and the community we know is. And we'd like to build something here that can make care a little better for everyone.
