Click&Care, the first nationwide network of digital home care agencies, announces a €5 million funding round led by SWEN Capital Partners, alongside the InvESS Île-de-France Développement fund (initiated by the Île-de-France Region and managed by Esfin Gestion) and Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts group), its historical shareholder.
This transaction aims to improve the working conditions of home care workers and turn them into better-paid, better-trained professionals who are more closely involved in preventing loss of autonomy. This transformation addresses an urgent need in the sector: 305,000 positions will need to be filled by 2030, nearly 224 000 of which will not be covered by new young entrants, according to projections by DARES and France Stratégie.
This new model enables better pay for care workers, 24% to 48% above the sector average. Through local recruitment and optimised scheduling, Click&Care also reduces travel time, the main driver of professional burnout. The model is also designed to lower the cost of care for families and make better use of public funding dedicated to elderly and disability care. With the same public budget, Click&Care could support nearly 370,000¹ additional people experiencing loss of autonomy.
With this funding, Click&Care plans to further develop its technology by integrating new artificial intelligence tools to support care workers in their daily tasks and professional development, accelerate the national rollout of its model and strengthen its role within the care pathway. Through a mobile app, care workers will have access to decision-support tools, contextual training and personalised recommendations built into their visits.
