The vision for a caregiver platform
90% of care happens in the home, not in clinical settings. Maia makes that care visible, connected, and less burdensome for everyone involved.
Built by caregivers, for caregivers
We see, hear, and live our own caregiving stories every day. Whether it’s transportation, medications, paying the bills, or just companionship, 60 million Americans are caregivers to older adults. And we are too.
After 15 years in the health transformation space, Maia Care founder Dan Cerutti moved to be closer to his aging parents. He and his siblings provide regular assistance to their 90-year-old independent parents. He saw how broken the infrastructure for caregivers is — and how much better it could be. Combining his passion for health transformation with his lived experience, Dan founded Maia Care and gathered a world-class team to help deliver smarter, more connected care.
