What's New

• The company was selected as a Gold winner in the 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Awards™ through a rigorous evaluation framework that measures true innovation, functional excellence, and quantifiable business impact.

Why it Matters

Caregivers represent one of the largest - and most overlooked - segments of today's workforce. As caregiving responsibilities inevitably spill into the workday, organizations face increasing risks to retention, productivity, and workforce continuity without the right systems in place to support employees.

Homethrive closes this critical gap with a seamless experience that gives employees 24/7 access to curated tools, guided workflows, and resources-all in one intuitive platform. Its AI-driven analytics anticipate needs and surface personalized next steps before challenges escalate. This digital simplicity is paired with unlimited support from experienced social workers who assist with complex tasks like Medicare navigation, resolving logistical burdens, and providing emotional support when it matters most.

Where traditional caregiving benefits are reactive and fragmented, Homethrive delivers proactive guidance and simplifies caregiving across every life stage.
