Abby Care provides a platform that trains and certifies family members to become paid caregivers for their relatives with disabilities who are on Medicaid. Through a mobile app and virtual training, families can manage eligibility, complete certifications at no cost, and receive weekly payments as W-2 employees. This approach differs from traditional agencies by turning family members into a new supply of clinical caregivers, supported by digital documentation tools and registered nurse supervision. The company's goal is to solve the caregiver shortage and improve health outcomes by making it easier for families to provide and be compensated for professional-grade home care.
