Today, the startups are tapping every possible market to make profits and one such market is the senior living. The current market for senior living and adult care is huge and there are several new companies that have seen the growth potential in the same. The growth potential is because of the decline in nursing home care and an increase in baby boomers reaching old age.

Here are some startups that are taking this opportunity and providing the elders help in their own way.

HomeHero
HomeHero is an in-home, non-medical care provider based in California. The HomeHero caregivers are experienced in providing elderly care and they help in promoting safety and independence. Services that are provided to seniors include companionship, personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transitional care, care management, medication management, and transportation.

The caregivers or the “heroes” have to go through an entrance exam, personal and virtual interview, background checks, and certified nursing assistant (CNA) certification before they are recruited for providing care. Additionally, the company checks with their previous clients to be certain of their proficiency.

Silvernest ®
Home Sweet Shared Home™—Silvernest® is a roommate matching service, which allows older homeowners to find a roommate for long-term home sharing. This San Francisco-based startup helps seniors to find companionship and someone to share their daily lives as well as bills with.

Homeowners listed on Silvernest® are 60 years old on an average. The renters could be younger, say somewhere around 50 years.

Honor
Another startup that works like HomeHero, Honor specializes in a home-based care for the seniors and provides them help in maintaining their health and independence within the comfort of their own home. Honor also has an application for the seniors that allows caregivers to connect with their elderly when they are away to monitor the care and schedule appointments. Honor helps seniors with their groceries and meal preparation, light housekeeping, personal care and hygiene, and transportation.

There are many such startups that are helping the seniors live a better life. Some other such startups include Joany, Hometeam, Eligible, CareMessage, 23andMe, Cake, Renew, Rendever, and more.
