About Elder
When someone you love suddenly needs care, families are pushed into a world of confusing choices with very little support. Elder exists to change that. We're reinventing how families find and manage in home care: because technology and AI shouldn't make care colder; they should make it clearer, faster and more personal.
We've started by building an end to end home care marketplace that helps families find the right carer quickly, manage care simply, and feel supported throughout the entire journey.
Elder is the UK's leading home care platform, connecting families with thousands of carers nationwide. Since launch, we've delivered 15 million+ hours of care, supported + matches, and helped families across 500+ towns and cities.
Our platform blends smart technology with real human support to deliver a better care experience end to end:
- Fast, personalised matching to understand needs and find the right carer
- Flexible, transparent care options that fit real life: full time, part time, visiting or overnight
- A simple, guided journey with clarity, ongoing support, and visibility every step of the way
- A fair, flexible marketplace for carers, giving them choice, better earnings and genuine respect for their work
As the UK ages, millions more families will want to stay in their own homes for longer - and will need a trusted partner to make that possible. Elder's long term vision is to become the brand for ageing at home, supporting families not just with care, but with the wider challenges that come with ageing.
We're a focused, mission driven and high ownership team backed by long term investors, building in one of society's most important and emotionally charged spaces. If you want your work to matter - and you want to help families through some of the hardest moments of their lives - Elder is the place to build.
