Care at home in Lansing, on your schedule and hers

Some weeks you need a Tuesday morning in Old Town. Some weeks you need somebody there overnight. Lansing families post what they actually need, and caregivers who are free that day bid on it.

Lansing, specifically

What Lansing families ask us most is whether anybody good is actually nearby. We cannot promise a specific person, and we will not pretend to: what we can say is how the marketplace works. Caregivers across Michigan set their own rates, see visits near their own home address at neighbourhood level, and choose which ones to bid on. Nobody is assigned to you and nobody is assigned to them.

Where in Lansing Karevos covers

Karevos does not carve Lansing into service territories. A caregiver decides for herself how far she is willing to travel from her own home address, so coverage follows where caregivers actually live rather than a map somebody drew.

Old Town: a caregiver living nearby can pick this up without crossing Lansing, which usually means she is on time and stays on time.
Eastside: your street stays private while the visit is open, and is released only to the caregiver you choose.
Moores Park: you can ask for a short meeting with up to three caregivers before you book anybody.
Just outside Lansing: caregivers living in the surrounding Lansing area see your visit too, because coverage follows where people live rather than a city boundary.
Repeat visits across Lansing: set a visit to recur and one bid covers the whole series, so the same caregiver keeps coming back.
Short notice in Lansing: a visit posted this morning can collect bids this afternoon. Nothing has to go through a coordinator first.
Cost across Lansing: there is no zone pricing and no travel surcharge. A caregiver decides what she charges and whether the trip is worth it to her.
Care circles in Lansing: inviting a sibling or a care manager to see what is happening is free, and there is no plan that makes it cost money later.
Meeting first in Lansing: you can ask up to three caregivers for a fifteen-minute conversation before you accept anybody's bid.
Notes after a Lansing visit: your caregiver can leave a short message in her own words. It is a note between the two of you, not a medical record.
Getting started in Lansing: posting takes about two minutes and you can take the posting down again at any point before you book.
Who turns up in Lansing: the caregiver who bid is the caregiver who comes. There is no pool and no substitution behind the scenes.
Rates around Lansing: every caregiver names her own, so what you are comparing is people rather than price tiers.
Tips in Lansing: entirely optional, and 100 percent of anything you leave goes to your caregiver.
Cancelling in Lansing: talk to your caregiver first. Most changes are a five-minute conversation rather than a policy question.
Records in Lansing: Karevos keeps no medical or care file on anybody. Notes are informal messages between you and your caregiver.

How it works for families in Lansing

Four steps, and nothing costs anything until a visit is booked.

Post the visit

Say when you need somebody in Lansing, for how long, and what would help. It takes a couple of minutes and posting costs nothing.

Read what caregivers offer

Each one replies with her own rate and a short message. You see her profile, her credentials, and what other Lansing families have said about working with her.

Meet before you decide

Ask up to three Lansing caregivers for a short 15-minute meeting inside the app. Nobody swaps phone numbers to arrange it.

Book, and pay afterwards

Your card is authorised when you book and charged once the Lansing visit is finished. The receipt breaks out every line separately.

How it works for caregivers in Lansing

Your rate, your schedule, your credentials.

Your credentials, your property

Upload once. Everything you hold stays yours, and it works for every Lansing family you ever bid on.

No rate anyone chose for you

There is no starting number in the bid field and no average shown anywhere. It opens empty because the number belongs to you.

Take the work that fits

Nothing in Lansing is assigned. You see what is open, and you bid on what suits your week.

Paid without a middleman

The Lansing family pays your connected account directly. Standard payouts are free, and instant is optional.

What Karevos is in Lansing, plainly

Facts about how the marketplace works in Lansing. Karevos is a venue where two people arrange care between themselves; it is not a home care agency, it does not employ caregivers, and it does not provide care.

Her price, not ours

Karevos has never set a caregiver's rate and is built so that it cannot. A Lansing caregiver bids her own number and keeps all of it.

Checked before the first bid

A Lansing caregiver cannot bid until her background check clears. She pays for it, she owns it, and her profile carries the date.

A receipt you can argue with

Every line is separate on a Lansing receipt, including a markup line that reads $0.00, because there is no markup to hide.

The street comes last

Nobody browsing Lansing visits can see where you live. Your address goes to one person, the one you booked, and only for the visit.

Arrival updates if you want them

A Lansing family can add optional arrival updates to any visit. Skipping them changes nothing about the visit or the price of the care.

Nothing to cancel

There is no Lansing membership to end, no minimum to hit, and no notice period. Book nothing, pay nothing.

Karevos is coming to Lansing

We are opening Lansing next. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it opens, and nothing else. We will not guess a date we do not have.

Caregivers in Lansing

You set your rate, you keep all of it, and your background check is yours to own and take with you anywhere in Lansing. Karevos never sets your price, your schedule, or your tasks.

What this comes down to in Lansing

Around Old Town and the rest of Lansing, the practical question is usually whether somebody reliable is close enough to make a morning visit work. Karevos does not answer that with a promise; it answers it by letting caregivers who live nearby see the visit and decide for themselves.

What Lansing families want to know first

I am a caregiver in Lansing. What does it cost me?

Nothing comes out of your rate. There is no commission and no mandatory fee of any kind for a Lansing caregiver; the platform is funded by a flat fee the family pays. You buy your own background check, you own it, and you set your own price on every bid.

How much does a caregiver cost in Lansing?

Each caregiver sets her own hourly rate, so the price you see is hers and not ours. When you post a visit in Lansing you say what you are offering, caregivers reply with their own rate and a short message, and you choose. Karevos adds one flat $14.99 visit fee per completed visit and nothing else, never a percentage of her rate.

Does Karevos take a percentage of what the caregiver earns?

No. Caregivers keep 100 percent of their rate. The only Karevos charge is a flat $14.99 visit fee per completed visit, paid by the family, and it is the same $14.99 whether a Lansing visit runs two hours or twelve.

Is there a minimum number of hours in Lansing?

No. You book the visit you need. Agencies commonly require a four-hour minimum, which is why a one-hour check-in ends up billed as four; a Lansing family on Karevos posts the actual window and pays for the actual window.

What kind of help can a Lansing caregiver provide?

Non-medical, in-home support: companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, medication reminders, respite for a family carer, and overnight company. Karevos is not a home health agency, and caregivers working in Lansing do not provide skilled or medical care.

Are caregivers background checked?

Yes. Every caregiver completes a background check before she can bid on any Lansing visit, and she purchases and owns that check herself. Her profile shows the date it was completed, provided by the caregiver.
