Five Good Friends offers a modern, transparent and flexible solution so people can age in place engaged with the community, friends and life they love. We are a business with a very clear, purposeful and much needed mission and fight: To re-invent in home help and care for individuals as well as the family so that everyone is kept informed, in touch and most importantly in control. How we work: -Membership not hours: Five.Good.Friends. is a membership model, meaning people pay a weekly or yearly membership fee and then receive help at significantly cheaper rates than current. There are no penalty rates and no minimum hours. The focus isn’t on the how many hours you need, but what type of help you want and when. It’s all about you. -Technology to keep everyone informed, in touch and in control: The delivery of help is scheduled and monitored through the ‘Five.Good.Friends. App’ providing Members, and their family (if desired) the peace of mind of knowing who is in the home, when, what help has been provided and how happily it was received via a rating out of five stars -A tailored help plan: A skilled and caring Community Manager meets with prospective Members (and their families if desired) to understand their needs and a personal help plan is then designed that matches you to the best vetted and verified local Helpers. -One trusted relationship to grow with needs over time: With Five Good Friends members and their families have one trusted relationship to manage their help needs as they change over time.
