About Us
As life expectancy increases, more families are struggling with the demands of caregiving for their loved ones. Without long-term planning, many resort to ad-hoc care services or nursing homes. However, we believe that nothing beats the comfort of home and the company of family. That’s why we founded iKare: to provide holistic care at home solutions with a personal touch, and ensure your family members are able to live happily and healthfully in their own home.
What makes us who we are

Our members trust us to provide exceptional medical care and dependable emotional support that enables their family members to live the life they deserve.
