CAREGIVER REFERRAL AND MATCHING SUPPORT

THOUGHTFUL REFERRALS FOR NON-MEDICAL SUPPORT AT HOME

Every family’s needs are different. That is why we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to referrals and introductions, helping families connect with independent caregivers and community-based support to fit their needs.

Whether your loved one is seeking recovery support, mobility support, help with daily routines, companionship, medication reminders, or access to meaningful quality-of-life services such as grooming appointments, pet visits, or social outings, we help families explore referral options based on what matters most to them.

HOW our REFERRAL AND coordination WORKS

how we work

The Granddaughter Network is a non-medical caregiver referral and coordination network. We help families connect with independent caregivers and community-based support services. Independent caregivers decide whether to accept referrals and make service arrangements directly with families, including services, schedules, and payment terms. TGN does not provide medical care, clinical supervision, payroll services, or in-home caregiver management.

BEYOND BASIC SUPPORT

THOUGHTFUL REFERRALS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

We know that meaningful support is about more than routines and tasks. We help families explore referrals to independent caregivers and community-based service providers who may offer non-medical support tailored to what matters most—whether that means a grooming appointment, time with a beloved pet, a favorite activity, or other everyday routines that bring comfort and connection.

Tell us what your loved one enjoys, and we can help identify referral options that reflect those preferences.
