Our Mission
RubyWell is paving a path to financial stability for all family caregivers
We were inspired to start RubyWell by our own experiences while caring for people we love. While everyone’s journey through caregiving is unique, one thing that remains constant is the financial strain it can cause.
So we’re building a platform that continuously discovers and delivers opportunities for family caregivers like you to save, find, and earn money for the care you provide. That way, you can focus on caring for your aging loved ones, and be better prepared to plan for your own care down the road.

How does RubyWell choose home health agency partners in PA?
RubyWell partners with Medicare-approved home health agencies that have a star rating of 3.5 (out of 5) or above.
I'm caring for a spouse. Does that disqualify me?
For eligible families, RubyWell can help any family caregiver get paid, including a spouse or even a friend. The caregiver must be at least 18 years old, legally allowed to work in the U.S., and may be required to pass background and/or drug tests to get paid to care for you.
What is required of me if I join RubyWell?
If you qualify for our program, you’ll need to complete a combination of online and in-person training and pass a test to become a Medicare-certified Home Health Aide.
