Caregiving Works Better in Tandem.
Tandem Careplanning® is a Public-Benefit Corporation that champions both caregivers and care seekers, nurturing the very best in-home care.
Through the combination of our 24-hour one-on-one phone support and easy to navigate online destination, we make everything clear and customized to the needs of caregivers and care seekers. That means flexibility for all involved, from the caregiver you hire, to what shifts they work, and what activities they perform. All the while, we take care of the background work, including payroll, contracts, scheduling, and tax filings.

Access to experience.
Companionship is an important piece of the puzzle as we work to help our clients thrive. Even in big cities like LA, it is common to feel alone. Rewarding interactions with caregivers provide an excellent antidote to isolation.

As people age, performing fundamental tasks such as remembering medications, prepping meals, and even maintaining basic hygiene can become more difficult to accomplish independently. By recognizing your loved one's specific needs, we can guide you in the development of a Care Plan that keeps them happy, healthy, and safe, with the flexibility to evolve as they age.

How do I get started?
Tandem makes it easy. You can sign up online or give us a call at 1‑800‑370‑3377 for personalized assistance. We provide access to exceptional caregivers for your specific needs, schedule, and budget.
How does Tandem work?
It's simple. Our Care Team helps you to create your customized Care Plan and you select and hire your primary caregiver, along with up to four back-ups, to ensure you're always covered. Then you automatically schedule shifts, manage your care, and receive updates using your online account.
Who employs the caregiver?
Tandem enables you to employ your caregiver(s) directly — saving you money and giving you full control. We provide integrated tools for payroll management, including automatic tax deductions and signature-ready tax paperwork.
Are all caregivers screened?
Absolutely. Every caregiver featured on our website has been through a detailed screening process which includes a multi-step criminal background check, personal interview, and reference verification. We only accept caregivers who meet our high standards. Your safety is our top priority.
How much does it cost?
Tandem caregivers set their own rates. Your caregiver is paid his/her hourly rate and Tandem charges you a service fee of 20%. For example, if you pay your caregiver $15/hr, your total estimated cost with employment taxes and our fee ($3/hr) is $19.76/hr.
What are the benefits of hiring directly?
Tandem provides Personalized Private Caregiving Solutions® — allowing you to easily select, hire and schedule the care you need, when and where you need it. We are more cost-effective than traditional caregiving agencies and we provide phone support whenever you need it.
Tandem Perspectives
Read testimonials from people like you, who understand the caregiving journey
“I was nervous about hiring a caregiver to help with my recovery after surgery. Brittany, my Senior Care Specialist at Tandem, was so helpful and patient. My caregiver worked with me to navigate the doctor’s instructions and adapted beautifully. I don’t have enough good words to describe how happy I am with this organization!”
- Linda B.
“My experience with Tandem couldn’t have been better. I needed 24/7 care for my dad after he was discharged from the hospital, and my Senior Care Specialist, Kelly, coordinated three caregivers’ schedules over a holiday weekend. She went above and beyond. I can’t imagine trying to do this alone.”
- Charlotte S.
“When I took over my mom’s care after her stroke, juggling my kids, a full-time job, and her needs was overwhelming. The team at Tandem helped me find a caregiver to provide respite care, which was such a relief - I only wish I had planned for this sooner.”
- Andrew S.
“Tandem offers another level of support that motivates me to go beyond what caregivers normally do. I love that I get to be my own boss and have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with clients to set the scope of duty.”
- Maria C.
“The Tandem caregiver training program has changed my whole outlook on caregiving. I am more secure and confident that I am able to do whatever task I am faced with. Tandem is behind us [the caregivers] 100%. The company is there to make sure both parties are happy working with one another.”
- Jared L.
“Tandem is all about supporting caregivers. I worked full-time for one of their clients while I was in nursing school, and I can’t thank them enough. Not only did they make me feel comfortable and valued, they even sent me a graduation gift when I passed my RN boards.
- Albert B.
