About AxisCare
According to Pew Research, roughly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and the American Society on Aging calculated that an American has a 70% chance of needing help with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, hygiene, etc. This has led to an unprecedented increase in Home Care agencies in the U.S. and abroad who strive to help those who have difficulty helping themselves, specifically offering non-medical (also referred to as non-skilled) services to seniors in their homes.
AxisCare was started in 2011 by industry leaders to help meet the demand for a more user-friendly and mobilecompatible solution. Our product is a web-based management platform that helps agencies manage CRM and marketing, Caregiver/Client scheduling, billing, payroll and much more. Headquartered in Waco, TX, AxisCare has clients in all 50 states as well as 6 other countries. We are a fast-growing company seeking high-performing individuals looking for a fast-paced, autonomous working environment.
