About The Place for Care
Getting care
should be simpler.
The Place for Care helps people find mental health care, recovery support, housing help, and employment resources through one private intake.
Free for people seeking care. You decide whether your information is shared.Where we are today
Starting in Maryland
and Washington, D.C.
We are beginning in the communities where the need and agency relationships are already real.
Interest is tracked separately from completed intakes, admissions, care starts, health outcomes, and revenue.
Why I built it
I built this after helping people get connected to care.
As a caseworker, I helped people move forward after they said they wanted care. Paper forms, repeated questions, missing information, and follow-up calls often stood between a person asking for help and an agency trying to respond.
Online outreach later brought in more requests for therapy, recovery support, housing help, and employment resources. The need was clear: people needed one place to begin, and agencies needed a better way to respond to each request.
I built The Place for Care to give people a clear place to start and agencies a better way to respond.Maada ThomasFounder, The Place for Care
Future vision
Care for all.
That's our goal.
Our long-term goal is to make this simple starting point available in more communities. Today, our focus is Maryland and Washington, D.C.
