01 What We Solve

Home health credentials are trapped in filing cabinets, email threads, and outdated spreadsheets. Agencies lose $18,000–$25,000 a year in billable revenue chasing paperwork, while carrying the risk of fines up to $30,000 from a failed compliance audit.

The Mission

We solve the compliance burden that keeps home care agencies exposed to audits, fines, and revenue loss - so they can focus on delivering care, not chasing paperwork.

The Product, In One Line

Stewardly eliminates the administrative friction and revenue leakage plaguing home care operations, removing 3–5 days from the 10–14 day onboarding window and delivering an audit-ready workflow.

02 Fact Sheet: The Problem & The Buyer

One aide, three agencies, three copies of the same CPR card

Every new caregiver hire triggers the same scramble: 3–5 days spent chasing TB tests, CNA registrations, background-check confirmations, and CPR cards before anyone is cleared to take a single visit. Aides re-upload the same paperwork for every new job.

That lag costs an agency $800–$1,000 in lost billable revenue per hire - before the caregiver has met a patient. Across a year of hiring, it quietly drains $18,000–$25,000 per agency.

Worse, the same manual tracking that slows onboarding is what leaves agencies exposed at survey time. One expired credential gets missed, and everyone pays the price.

03 How It Works
The Digital Passport
STEP 01

Aides upload once

CNA license, CPR card, TB test, background check - uploaded to one secure vault. Aides enter expiration dates once, and they’re done.

STEP 02

Agencies connect

An agency sends an invite or scans a QR code. The aide approves, and their full verified profile populates the agency’s dashboard instantly - no data entry.

STEP 03

Always in sync

When an aide updates a credential, every connected agency sees it immediately. Expiration alerts fire automatically. No manual tracking required.

Automated expiration alerts

Proactive SMS reminders flag expiring credentials months in advance.

Survey-ready reports

One-click documentation binders for CMS and state surveys.

Centralized system of record

Every credential stored in one cryptographically secure location.

04 Why Now: What’s Different
The gap

A $176B industry with no compliance home

40,000 agencies manage 4.5 million caregivers - and not one has a purpose-built, cloud-native compliance OS designed for the way home care actually operates.

The incumbents

Legacy EHRs were built for billing

Platforms like WellSky and HCHB treat credentialing as an afterthought - bolted onto horizontal systems designed to push claims, not to keep a roster compliant.

The team

Built from the inside out

Stewardly’s CEO spent over a decade inside home healthcare operations - including at one of the country’s largest visiting nurse organizations. This is insider-built, not outsider-assumed.

The shift

Credentials that finally travel

Stewardly is making caregiver credentials portable for the first time - modernizing home care labor from agency-siloed to caregiver-owned.

05 The Result
$18K–$25K
Recovered per agency, per year (on average)

Revenue that was always there, just trapped in paperwork

By eliminating 3–5 days of credential-processing lag on every new hire, Stewardly returns $18,000–$25,000 in previously lost billable revenue to a typical agency each year.

The same system that recovers that revenue also closes the compliance gaps that put an agency’s license - and reputation - at risk.
