Uber Caregiver Supporting the Caregiving Community
May 28, 2024
What is Uber Caregiver?
Uber Health is launching Uber Caregiver this summer of 2024 which aims to support caregivers and their loved ones. This service will let care-receivers add caregivers to their Uber profile allowing them to coordinate transportation, grocery delivery, over-the-counter item delivery, and use health benefit cards for payments.
What Services Does Uber Caregiver Offer?
Transportation - Uber Caregiver will allow users to arrange transportation for appointments. Both caregiver and care-recipient will be able to track their ride in the app, providing some peace of mind and giving caregivers an extra hand in taking care-recipients to where they need to be.
Grocery and OTC deliveries - caregivers or care-recipients can manage and track deliveries in the app. This will make it easier to ensure that care-recipients can always have what they need delivered to them.
Utilize health benefits for payments - Some health plans help cover eligible expenses. Uber Caregiver will allow care-recipients to add their health benefits card for payment which streamlines benefit coverages.
How Do You Join?
For now, you can join the waitlist and keep up-to-date on the release of this service.
It is great to see other service industries catching on to the needs of the caregiving community.
Many caregivers and care-recipients alike will benefit from these offerings.
