Dignity & choice
Support should reflect the person’s preferences. Independence includes choosing when to accept help and how to participate.
OUR MISSION / BARBADOS FIRSTA longer life.
A longer life.
A fuller life, too.
We want growing older to come with independence, dignity, opportunity and meaningful connection—not a smaller world.
Family is the beginning.
Community makes
the circle wider.
NuffCare brings a practical idea to a familiar challenge: care is easier to sustain when responsibilities, information and support are shared.
We are developing a Barbados-built platform connecting family coordination with community participation and appropriately scoped professional support. Older adults should be involved in shaping both the technology and the services around it.
THE PRINCIPLES WE BUILD AROUND01 02 03
Access & fairness
Essential family coordination stays free. Paid services should explain their cost and provide fair compensation for the work.
Connection & opportunity
Make room for companionship and enjoyable outings, alongside practical opportunities for younger people to help and earn.
A PROPOSED 90-DAY PILOTProve usefulness.
Prove usefulness.
Then grow responsibly.
We want to learn what families use, what older adults value and what it actually costs to provide dependable support.
Prepare together
Agree a bounded service area, participant criteria, referral arrangements, consent, responsibilities and a practical support process with pilot partners.
Test everyday support
Observe Care Circle use and carefully scoped helper tasks. Track time, missed tasks, service costs and the experience of both families and older adults.
Review the evidence
Report participation, task completion, feedback and delivery economics. Use findings to decide what to change, fund or expand. These are proposed measures, not published results.
PARTNERSHIPS THAT MAKE HELP POSSIBLEBring what you do well.
01 02 03
Bring what you do well.
We’ll build around it.
We are inviting discussions, not announcing existing partnerships.
Supermarkets & retailers
Explore prepared orders, direct grocery payment, clear receipts and scheduled collection—so helpers do not need to carry household grocery money.
Discuss a store partnershipCommunity & care organisations
Help shape referrals, participant support, suitable provider roles and a funded pilot that answers real operational questions.
Discuss the pilotBusinesses & sponsors
Fund a defined delivery, outing seat or agreed pilot activity. Separate service funding from operating support and report the agreed outcomes.
Explore sponsorshipHOW THE MODEL COULD SUSTAIN ITSELFSeveral sources of support.
Several sources of support.
One clear purpose.
We aim to avoid placing the entire cost of the platform on older people’s everyday needs.
| Potential revenue | What it supports | Current position |
|---|---|---|
| Optional Supporter membership | Operations, agreed member benefits and community access. | BBD $39/month proposed; not on sale. |
| Paid-service coordination | A disclosed fixed fee toward coordination, processing and support. | Illustrative route economics; no blanket grocery commission. |
| Concierge Setup | One-time hands-on assistance setting up a family circle. | Price by quote once available. |
| Funded pilots & organisation tools | Agreed implementation, support, reporting and future organisation services. | Seeking discussions; scope and price by agreement. |
| Defined sponsorship | Specific services or access for participating recipients. | Requires funding and delivery arrangements. |
The cost base includes technology, participant support, screening and administration, payment processing, provider payments and any promised benefits. Revenue is not the same as profit. We will test actual costs before committing to ongoing service prices.
