The care assistant

It notices changes within days, so you hear early

The care assistant knows your loved one's schedule, care team, and care plan. Ask it anything, any time, and it answers in plain words.

  1. Your caregiver taps what they saw. Meals, moving around, mood, a near fall, a moment worth sharing. About 30 seconds at the end of each visit.
  2. The care assistant writes you a short note. Like "A walk in the sunshine." Every note is marked AI, and you can see the visit it came from.
  3. It compares Mom with her own usual. Not with averages. When something shifts over a few visits, it notices within days. When nothing changes, it tells you that too.
  4. A person brings you any concern. The AI writes the everyday notes. When something looks off, the caregiver who saw it confirms it and tells you. Their AI teammate guides them on what to raise and when. You decide what to do next.

It never gives medical advice. Falls, injuries, and health questions always come from a person.

Why taps work. In a 2019 study of 301 home care clients, nine simple yes or no observations from aides flagged emergency room visits up to a week ahead. Later work found the benefit came when a person acted on the sign. Steady is built on the same idea.

How it works

From first call to a care team you trust

  1. Not sure what you need? Start here.

    Talk with our AI intake assistant by phone, or record your answers in the app. It asks about Mom's day, what's getting harder, the hours you'd like and your budget, then helps you build a care plan. It tells you up front that it's AI.

  2. Meet vetted caregivers

    See local caregivers who passed a background check and an AI phone screen, and hire the ones who fit, directly.

  3. Build your care team

    Agree on a rate and schedule with each caregiver. Every family starts with at least two, so a familiar face can fill in when someone is out.

  4. AI does the rest

    Your care assistant books visits, finds cover when someone is out, shares visit updates, and handles payments. You stay in charge.

Questions

Good to know

When and where does Steady launch?

Steady opens in Iowa City in early 2027, then comes to Seattle. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you when Steady reaches your town.

How does Steady work?

You hire your caregivers directly and stay in charge. AI does the rest: scheduling, backup when someone is out, payments, and an update after every visit.

How are caregivers vetted?

Every caregiver passes a background check and a screening interview before they can join. You meet them before they start.

What kind of care can I find?

Companionship, help around the house and with meals, errands, personal care such as bathing and dressing, and respite, so a family caregiver gets a break.

Who owns the care information?

Your family does. In typical home care, visit records belong to the company. On Steady, they're yours. You can export a health report of visits, notes and changes any time and share it with Mom's doctors or anyone you choose. We never sell it.

Who are the people behind Steady?

Steady was started by Jocelyn Jackson and Wadood Daoud, the team behind Here Home Care in Iowa City. We built Steady so every family can see how Mom's day went, and so caregivers earn what the work is worth.
