Problem
Families navigating elder care in Canada face a fragmented system where information about retirement homes, care providers, and long-term care facilities is scattered across multiple sources. This forces caregivers to spend significant time chasing down options, managing waitlists, and coordinating care without clear visibility into what is available or where they stand in the process.
Solution
GALA is an integrated platform that aggregates data from across the elder-care system—retirement homes, care providers, long-term care facilities, and other senior services—into a single, easy-to-use interface. Users receive personalized matches based on their real needs, preferences, and timing, eliminating guesswork from the selection process. The platform enables users to apply to care homes, monitor their position on waitlists, and communicate directly with providers in one place. For in-home care, GALA provides real-time tracking of care provider routes and arrival times, giving families peace of mind. A dedicated concierge team supports users throughout the entire process, offering guidance and assistance when needed.
Target Audience
Primary users are families and caregivers of older adults in Canada who need to find, compare, and secure elder-care services, as well as care providers seeking to connect with potential clients through the platform.
