Welcome to Keep Safe Care
There is one big difference: Caregiver Pay
While everyone claims to have a caregiver first mentality, or to take good care of their caregivers, or empowering caregivers, what makes Keep Safe Care unique is how much better we pay our caregivers without raising costs for our clients. As a policy, Keep Safe Care uses The 2/3 Rule®, were we pay our caregivers 2/3s of what we typically charge our clients. This results in upwards of $8 more per hour for a caregiver as illustrated below. We have accomplished this by using technology to dramatically reduce the costs associated with operating a personal in-home care agency. This means two things for our clients: First, you get more reliable and consistent care, and secondly, your will get the same caregiver giving you care, week after week. These improved efficiencies also allow us to offer same day care as well as a sliding fee scale. See more below.

Services Offered
We know how stressful it is when mom or dad needs help with everyday chores and you yourself cannot be there to help them, or even when you need a little help with daily living. Our purpose is to reduce the stress associated with bringing a caregiver into the home. Things change, and we are all going to need help, so we make it easy for you. In addition, we do more than just put a “warm body” into your home. Our system matches you not only on your care needs but also on cultural preferences, language and even hobbies. We empower you in the selection process and work with the family to ensure a “rightness-of-fit” between the caregiver and the client. You will get more reliable, dependable, and consistent care. No more “no shows” or rotating caregivers. Safety and kindness are what we are all about. As a bonus, due to the efficiency of operation, we are able to charge 10% to 25% less than most other private duty agencies in the area, with no minimum hours required.

EMPOWERING CAREGIVERS® Keep Safe Care is revolutionizing the way private duty agencies deliver care. We are all about changing the old mold of big companies controlling franchisees and extracting ever increasing fees from their operations. We are also passionate about dealing with the persistent problems of caregiver truancy and turnover in the private duty caregiving sector. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate these chronic caregiver problems by empowering caregivers and those who are receiving care. Part of the solution is making sure caregivers in our system earn a higher standard wage, while at the same time keeping our rates below what most agencies charge. We can do this because we use technology to reduce operating costs by 20% to 25% below traditional private duty agencies and pass those savings onto our clients and caregivers: making it a win-win-win for everyone.

We know how expensive private duty care has become in America, and Keep Safe Care reduces the burden and cost of care in the home by offering these three solutions: A sliding fee scale, no minimums for hours or costs, and using automation to keep costs down. Because of this combination, we are able to charge below market rate (which in Austin, Texas is $29/hour) while paying our caregivers more than what most agencies pay. As an example: most agencies take 60% to 70% of the fee charged and pay the caregiver the remainer. So if an agency is charging you $30 per hour, they are paying their caregiver $11 to $12 an hour and pocketing the rest. Keep Safe Care is just the opposite, we pay our caregivers at least 2/3rds ($19 to $20 per hour) of our hourly rate and take less due to our ability to reduce operating costs signficantly. Doing this ensures reliable, dependable and consistent caregivers. This is our mission and passion. Click here for our complete rate card.
Sliding Fee Scale
Everyone wants to save money, and we are no different. So, depending on if you require a little care or a lot, we adjust our pricing to accommodate your needs. The more hours of care you require, the lower cost per hour. It is that simple.
No Contracts, No Minimums
Due to the efficiencies with operations, flexibility with scheduling, and unique caregiving curation and management software, we are able to offer our services with no contracts and no minimums. This is unique in the industry.
Automated Billing & Payment
Unlike other agencies, Keep Safe Care does not require prepayment of services. Instead, we use credit cards for payment and do a preauthorization just like hotels. Using this payment method makes everything automated and hands free.
