Data Scientist

Company Overview

Homethrive was born from personal experience. Our founders grappled with the overwhelming challenges of caregiving for family members while balancing their work lives. The journey was fraught with confusion, a myriad of unanswered questions, and countless hours delving into endless online searches. After taking numerous days off and spending extended hours on the phone, the answers remained elusive. They recognized the need for a streamlined, more efficient solution. Enter Homethrive!

Our Mission

Homethrive transforms aging and caregiving through personalized, human-centered support that bridges gaps in care and reduces social isolation.
