MK Care, founded in 2021 by sisters Mileyska and Keila Rodríguez, provides home and hospital healthcare services in Puerto Rico. The founders' journey into the healthcare sector was deeply influenced by personal experiences, including caring for their grandmother with Alzheimer's and growing up working in their mother's institution for the elderly. This background, combining expertise in gerontology and engineering, instilled in them a commitment to deliver care with respect and dignity.
The company addresses the challenge of finding reliable and qualified caregivers by simplifying the coordination process for families. MK Care serves a client base that includes seniors and individuals with special care needs, offering personalized services that range from short-term assistance to long-term and 24-hour support. Specific services include direct personal care, companionship at home or for outings, post-injury or surgery rehabilitation support, and specialized assistance during hospital stays. The business operates by connecting families with professional caregivers, with plans to launch a mobile application to further streamline the process of finding and requesting services.
MK Care has demonstrated significant growth since its inception and has participated in accelerator programs such as parallel18 and EnterPRize to scale its operations. The company's business model is centered on a patient-first approach, providing customized care plans to promote physical and mental well-being. In addition to direct care services, the company also offers products for sale, including medical scrubs, transfer chairs, and portable commodes, and provides training and employment opportunities for caregivers.
