A dating app is bringing people with disabilities together.
Now, an Ottawa-based startup is ensuring people with physical disabilities get the help they need by connecting them with caregivers on a new digital platform.
It might be personal hygiene, cleaning and cooking. But equally shopping, collecting the post and providing speedy assistance when clients’ potentially height-adjustable, electric wheelchairs break down.
Both parties are subject to an initial screening process. Caregivers must undergo a vulnerable sector check, provide two references and successfully negotiate a skills-based interview.
A home visit to clients verifies needs discussed in the video call as well as confirming what equipment is already available.
Meanwhile, an app offers specially tailored sports programmes for people with various disabilities.
