Memphis families can use our free 72-hour caregiver matching service to go from a short care-needs form to vetted caregiver video profiles they can review at home. You describe the help you need, we present candidates on video, and you choose whom to meet. There is no charge to start, and you are not required to hire the first person you see.
If you are comparing local options, begin with our Memphis care guide and then submit the matching form when you are ready for profiles.
How the Free 72-Hour Matching Service Works
Memphis families receive vetted caregiver video profiles within 72 hours of submitting a short intake form about the person who needs care. The service is built around three moves: you share the situation, we match you with caregivers whose background and availability fit, and you review video profiles before anyone comes to the home.
Video profiles let you see and hear a caregiver first, which is often faster than stacking in-person interviews while a parent still needs help. You stay in control of the next step, including whether you want a trial visit, a few hours a week, or a fuller schedule.
Who This Matching Service Helps in Memphis
This service helps Memphis families who need in-home support for an older adult, including people who live alone, need help with daily tasks, or are coming home after a hospital stay.
According to U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates, Memphis has 88,932 residents age 65 and older, 8,451 residents age 85 and older, and 32,761 seniors living alone, with a median household income of $51,211.
A free match can lower the time and cost of finding help when relatives are coordinating care from across town or from out of town. The CDC describes Alzheimer's disease as a form of dementia that can involve memory loss and difficulties with daily function. Families often look for practical in-home support for those day-to-day needs. This page does not diagnose any condition, and medical questions belong with a clinician.
For families who also want information on research programs or clinical studies, the National Institute on Aging maintains a directory of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. That directory is a research resource. It is separate from our matching service and is not an endorsement of our work.
Step 1: Submit a Short Care-Needs Form
You start by completing a short form that describes who needs care, where they live in the Memphis area, and what kind of help you want. Typical details include preferred days and times, whether the person lives alone, mobility or personal-care needs, and whether you want companionship, hands-on help, overnight coverage, or support after a hospital discharge.
The more clearly you describe routines (meals, medication reminders as directed by the family, bathing help, transportation to appointments, or simply someone to be present), the easier it is to send profiles that fit. You can note language preferences, pet information, and whether family members will be in the home.
There is no fee to submit the form, and completing it does not lock you into a contract.
Step 2: We Match You With Vetted Caregivers
After you submit the form, we match your request to vetted caregivers whose skills, availability, and experience fit the situation you described. Matching looks at the type of help you asked for, the hours you need, and the setting (a private home in Memphis, a family household, or a short-term return from the hospital).
Vetted profiles are the only ones you receive. We do not send an open list of unverified names. You can ask for more than one candidate so you have a real choice, and you can request another round of profiles if the first set is not the right fit.
Step 3: Review Caregiver Video Profiles Within 72 Hours
Within 72 hours, you receive caregiver video profiles so you can see and hear each person before you decide whom to meet. A video profile typically introduces the caregiver, outlines relevant experience, and helps you judge communication style, which is hard to get from a resume alone.
Review the videos with other family decision-makers if you want a second opinion. Then choose one caregiver to speak with, schedule a short introduction, or ask for additional profiles. The 72-hour window is meant to shorten the gap between "we need help" and "we have someone to consider," especially when a senior in Memphis is living alone or a discharge date is close.
