Agencies optimize the agency. Auria optimizes the caregiver's career.
In conventional home care, the agency owns the client relationship, the reputation, and the pricing — the caregiver gets shifts. Five years of excellent work earns you what a brand-new applicant gets: another shift.
Auria inverts that. The caregiver is the customer. You build a public professional profile, verified specialty hours, family ratings that follow you, and an earnings path that climbs with quality. The platform is the infrastructure underneath your practice — Shopify, not Uber.
For caregivers
The offer being tested
Keep 72–75% of the rate
Bring a client you already care for, and the target split is 72–75% of every collected dollar, paid to you — published as a formula, never negotiated in the dark. At target premium billing of $50–52/hr, that's a $37–39/hr wage.
Real W-2 employment
Not a 1099 gig. Workers' comp, paid sick leave, taxes handled, backup coverage behind you. The stability of employment with the economics of independence.
A career record that's yours
Visit-verified hours, specialty hours, attendance, family-confirmed ratings — a portable professional record that follows you, not the agency. Quality finally earns something.
Target economics — published, not hidden
$50–52

72–75%
of every collected dollar goes to you, as W-2 wages
~$11
/hr platform floor — the least Auria retains per hour
That's the whole formula. Worked example: $50 billed → $37.50 to you (75% share) → $12.50 retained, which covers employer costs like workers' comp and paid sick leave plus supervision, backup, and insurance. Target economics under validation (July 2026) — final published rates at launch, never quietly changed.
And said plainly: Auria isn't built to maximize what it keeps — it's built so the money goes to the person doing the caring. The model never hires a non-caregiving management class, and the long-term direction under exploration is profit-sharing and worker ownership: the worker-cooperative path, not the traditional agency one.
For families
The best caregivers, finally visible
What the founding pilot is being built to deliver — Auria isn't arranging care yet.
Hand-picked, verified caregivers
Every profile will show visit-verified hours, specialty experience, attendance history, and family-confirmed ratings — not marketing copy. You choose who enters your home.
One consistent caregiver
Matching will be curated on care needs, communication style, and fit — then a paid trial shift before anything becomes recurring. No rotating cast of strangers.
Premium care, honest pricing
Target rates of $48–54/hr for delegation-capable, hand-picked care — with the split published, so you know most of it goes to the person actually doing the caring.

Founding cohort
Join the founding cohort
Auria launches with a small, hand-picked pilot on the Seattle Eastside. Both lists are read personally by Ash — here's exactly how the pilot works and what happens August 1.
“I'm a working CNA on the Eastside — nurse-delegation certified, dementia trained. I've watched the best caregivers I know carry entire client relationships and get paid like they're interchangeable. Auria is the company I wish existed, so I'm building it — in the open, with the numbers on the table.”
