Frequently asked questions

WellSky is a healthcare technology company that owns multiple home care and home health platforms. Their flagship products include WellSky Home Health (formerly Kinnser, the dominant Medicare HH platform), WellSky Personal Care (formerly ClearCare, the leading non-medical home care platform), and WellSky Hospice. The brand consolidated several formerly separate products under one parent in the past few years.

Pick WellSky if you run Medicare-certified skilled HH (use WellSky Home Health / Kinnser) or you want the most-tenured non-medical home care platform with a deep feature set (WellSky Personal Care / ClearCare). WellSky is the most established player in both verticals. AveeCare is purpose-built for non-medical home care and is the better fit if you want public pricing, a free self-serve demo, and month-to-month contracts.

Pick AveeCare if you run non-medical home care and want public pricing ($6/active client/mo), a free self-serve demo, month-to-month, and EVV export across all 50 states without separate fees. WellSky Personal Care does not publish pricing; buyer-reported quotes typically run $300+ per month with sales-led pricing. AveeCare typically lands at 30-60% of WellSky's all-in cost for small-to-mid agencies.

Yes. WellSky Personal Care provides client / caregiver / schedule / visit data export. The migration usually takes 30-60 days; client and caregiver records transfer cleanly, historical visits and care plans transfer with some manual review, and open AR records may need parallel-run during the cutover month.
