About Caretum Health
Building a better way to connect healthcare facilities with qualified nursing professionals in Oregon.
Our story
Caretum Health started from a problem our team experienced firsthand. After years spent working inside healthcare, managing teams and keeping operations running, we saw the staffing crisis up close. When someone called in sick or quit without notice, the scramble to find coverage pulled focus away from residents. Phone trees, last-minute agency calls, and outdated systems made a difficult situation worse.
That frustration became the seed for Caretum Health: a platform that connects healthcare facilities with credentialed professionals who are ready to work. The same pain points exist across nursing homes, assisted living communities, and memory care facilities. Understaffed shifts, slow hiring processes, and too much time spent on logistics instead of care.
We built Caretum Health in Portland, Oregon to change that. Facilities post open shifts, qualified professionals claim them directly, and everyone moves faster. Every professional on the platform is license-verified, credential-checked, and background-screened before they ever step into a facility.
What we stand for
Compliance first
Every professional is license-verified, credential-checked, and background-screened before they ever work a shift.
Transparency
Facilities see the full cost before posting. Professionals see the rate before claiming. No hidden fees on either side.
Reliability
Our reliability scoring system ensures facilities get professionals who show up on time and do the work well.
People over process
We automate the paperwork so healthcare workers can focus on what matters — taking care of people.
How we're different
Traditional staffing agencies weren't built for the way healthcare works today. Here's what changes with Caretum Health.
Our team
Our team brings years of hands-on experience inside healthcare operations: managing teams, covering shifts, and seeing firsthand how staffing gaps affect resident care. That perspective shapes every decision we make, from how shifts are posted to how professionals are vetted.
We pair that healthcare experience with deep software engineering expertise. The platform is designed, built, and maintained in-house. That means we can move fast, fix what facilities tell us is broken, and keep improving the experience for everyone on both sides of a shift.
Serving Oregon
We're headquartered in Portland and currently serve communities across Oregon. We're expanding throughout the state as we grow.
Built on trust & compliance
Healthcare has no tolerance for shortcuts. Neither do we.
License verification
Every professional’s state license and NPI checked against official registries before onboarding.
Background screening
Nationwide criminal background checks and sex-offender registry scans via our Checkr integration.
Credential tracking
Expirations are monitored automatically — professionals can’t claim shifts with lapsed credentials.
