Free for every frontline caregiver

You're not doing this alone.

CarePeer is a community for the people who do the hardest, most human work there is. Built for caregivers, supported by caregivers. Free to all — always.

No cost. No credit card. Nothing reported to your employer.

Free means free. There is no paid tier and no upsell to join. CarePeer is operated by Deerghayu Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Frontline care is some of the loneliest work in the world.

No colleagues down the hall. No break room. No team huddle at the start of a shift. The isolation compounds — day after day, client after client, with no one who truly understands the work to turn to.

Peer connection is one of the strongest things known to reduce burnout and help caregivers stay in the work they love. CarePeer exists to make that connection reachable — no matter where you live, what shift you work, or which agency employs you.

60%+ By industry estimates, annual turnover among home care workers regularly exceeds this — and isolation is one of the biggest reasons caregivers leave.

Four ways to feel less alone.

Every CarePeer member has all four from the day they join. Moderated by experienced caregivers — not corporate representatives.

01

The Feed

A warm, moderated space where caregivers share wins, ask questions, and support each other — any hour of the day or night. Real conversations from real caregivers.

02

Peer Circles

Small groups of 8–12 caregivers who meet on a recurring schedule — organized by specialty, geography, or experience. Your circle becomes your people.

03

Mentorship Matching

Experienced caregivers paired with newer ones as guides — never as supervisors. Matched within a week of joining, with you when you're stuck.

04

Peer Support

For the hardest days — when a client passes, when a family is unkind, when the weight catches up. Peer supporters trained in emotional first aid who understand.

A note on the hard days. CarePeer's peer support is a companion — fellow caregivers who've been there — not a substitute for professional care. If you are ever in crisis, you deserve immediate professional help. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time, day or night.

Built to fit a caregiver's day.

Drop in between visits, after a shift, or in any spare moment. Joining takes a minute.

Want to build your skills and credentials?

Some caregivers come to CarePeer for connection and stay just for that — and that's exactly right. Others want to grow their craft. If that's you, there's a door open whenever you choose to walk through it.

CarePeer stays free, always. This is a separate, optional step you take only if you want to.

Is anything I share reported to my employer?

No. CarePeer is an independent community. Nothing you share is reported back to any agency or employer. You can join under your own name or a handle and keep your agency private. The space is moderated by experienced caregivers, not corporate representatives.

Who can join?

How does mentorship matching work?

Is CarePeer confidential?

Yes. Use your name or a handle, and share or hide your agency as you choose. CarePeer is designed for psychological safety and moderated by caregivers who understand the work.
