This provider hasn’t shared their availability yet — but don’t worry, we can help.

Tendly maintains close communication with all caregivers on our platform and has real-time insight into scheduling across your area. When you submit a request, we’ll reach out directly to this provider and others nearby who match your needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for ongoing support or last-minute help, we’re able to coordinate quickly and reliably.

We’ve built Tendly to make care simple and stress-free. Just let us know what kind of support you’re looking for — the hours, the care needs, and any preferences you have — and we’ll take it from there. From outreach to coordination to follow-up, our team ensures that the right caregiver is matched to the right family, at the right time.

What’s Tendly’s approach to building trust with families?
At Tendly, we believe trust begins with presence, consistency, and care that’s truly attentive. Every caregiver on our platform is chosen for their ability to not only meet physical needs, but to tune in emotionally — noticing the small things, respecting routines, and honoring the individual behind the care plan.

We’ve found that meaningful caregiving relationships are built slowly and intentionally. That’s why we encourage open communication from day one — with families, loved ones, and the broader circle of support. Trust is not assumed. It’s earned — through reliability, empathy, and steady follow-through.

How does Tendly support independence while still providing care?
Our caregiving model is rooted in the idea that support should never come at the expense of autonomy. Wherever possible, we aim to preserve a person’s sense of agency — offering assistance in a way that feels collaborative, not prescriptive.

We train and select caregivers who know how to listen first, observe gently, and encourage participation in daily life. From getting dressed to choosing meals to going on walks, we look for the moments where someone can still take the lead — and we follow. Because real care means recognizing strength, not just needs.


How does Tendly handle challenging or emotional moments in care?

Every caregiving journey includes moments of emotional intensity — whether it’s the disorientation of memory loss, the sadness of physical decline, or the frustration of needing help. At Tendly, we don’t rush past those moments. We meet them with quiet steadiness, deep empathy, and a trauma-informed mindset.


Our caregivers are trained to respond, not react — to slow down, hold space, and offer comfort in ways that feel safe and grounded. Sometimes that means redirecting with calm energy. Sometimes it means just being there. We believe the emotional side of care is not an add-on — it’s central to getting it right.


What does caregiving mean at Tendly?

At Tendly, caregiving isn’t transactional — it’s relational. It’s about showing up with integrity, day after day, to support someone in a vulnerable stage of life. We see it as a chance to build connection, preserve dignity, and create small moments of joy.


Our work is guided by a simple belief: people deserve to feel seen, respected, and cared for — not just functionally, but emotionally and humanly. Whether it's through shared routines, gentle humor, or just being consistently kind, we strive to make every caregiving interaction a reflection of that philosophy.

Let me know if you’d like a shorter version, different tone (e.g., more clinical or more poetic), or a way to toggle between real caregiver answers and these Tendly default ones in the UI.

At Tendly, we work with a nationwide network of caregivers and care organizations, each with different payment structures. Some accept long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or Medicaid waivers; others are cash-pay only or offer flexible hybrid options. While payment types can vary, our goal is always the same: to help you access high-quality care with minimal stress or confusion.

When you reach out, our team will help clarify this provider’s payment options once confirmed, and can also walk you through what your insurance, benefits, or personal budget may cover. If needed, we’ll connect you with providers whose payment models align with your needs — whether short-term, long-term, or something in between.

Tendly isn’t just a marketplace — we’re your care navigation partner. From understanding eligibility to coordinating directly with providers, we take a hands-on, human approach to helping families find the right fit.

If you’re unsure where to begin or what’s covered, don’t worry — we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll take it from there.
