One registry, two clear paths.
What is the Philia Care Registry?
Every family has different caregiving needs, preferences, and budgets. The Philia Care Registry through FYI (Find Your Independence) offers an alternative way to connect directly with qualified, independent care professionals, known as CarePros .
Families gain more flexibility and control over their caregiving arrangements. CarePros gain the independence to manage their own schedules, rates, and opportunities.

What’s the difference between Philia Home Care and the FYI Registry?
Both paths begin with compassionate care. The difference is how the caregiving relationship is managed.
Traditional agency care
Philia Home Care
Our agency helps coordinate and manage your loved one’s care, with hands-on support from the Philia team.
Independent registry care
FYI Care Registry
You hire an independent CarePro directly and take a more active role in selecting and managing the caregiving arrangement.
Important to know
CarePros on FYI are independent contractors and are not employees of Philia Home Care Agency. Families are responsible for selecting their CarePro and managing their direct caregiving relationship.
The good news?
Philia is still here to help.
Our team can answer questions, explain how the registry works, and help you understand which care option may be the best fit for your family.

Important information about independent contracting
As an FYI CarePro, you are an independent contractor, not an employee of Philia. You have greater control over your work arrangements, including the opportunities you accept and your desired pay rate.
Independent contractors are responsible for managing their own taxes and applicable business obligations. There are no guaranteed hours or assignments, and joining the registry does not guarantee placement with a client.
One commitment to helping families.
Whether you prefer the hands-on support of Philia Home Care or the flexibility of hiring an independent caregiver through FYI, we’re here to help you explore your options.
