With more than 15 years of experience as a caregiver and care manager, Florence Furaha is a caregiver at heart. Her career in the homecare industry started while pursuing her college degree.
After graduating with an MBA from Babson College, Florence entered the banking sector. However, her passion for caregiving and entrepreneurial skills led her to develop a solution for the numerous problems she witness families face while seeking care for their loved ones.
Shortly after, she and co-founder Ritah Nakandi launched MeetCaregivers, an innovative senior care platform that uses technology to connect seniors with the right caregivers and reshape how we address care and unmet needs.
Our mission is to enable millions of seniors to age at home/in place as long as possible. We strive to reduce isolation, assist with ADLs and IADls, improve the quality of care at home, and lower costs to seniors, families, and the healthcare system as a whole. We aim to achieve this by partnering with senior care communities, employers, state programs, and health plans.
