FreedomCare

At FreedomCare, we’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing homecare providers in the country, having served over 162,000 patients and caregivers nationwide. Our mission is simple yet impactful: helping people receive care from someone they trust—a loved one they can rely on. Why We Do What We Do Traditional home care often falls short for those in need. High caregiver turnover and frequent hospitalizations impact patient well-being. At FreedomCare, we’ve set out to change that by prioritizing patients' needs and providing a better solution that increases quality of life. We make it possible for family and friends to care for their loved ones—while also being paid for their dedication. How FreedomCare Stands Out ✅ Fewer Hospitalizations: Family and friend caregivers reduce hospital readmissions by ~25% after discharge. ✅ Lower Medical Costs: Patients receive better care, helping them stay healthier and out of the hospital. ✅ Reduced Caregiver Turnover: Caregivers who are trusted family or friends are 50% less likely to leave. ✅ Happier Patients & Caregivers: With over 8,000 5-star reviews, we’re making a real difference. Join us in transforming home care and improving lives across the United States. Together, we can make quality care a reality for more families.
