Onshore Kare

OnshoreKare was founded by serial entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, California, who personally experienced the challenges many immigrants face when caring for their parents across countries. In the past, even finding the right insurance for parents visiting the USA was a complicated and time-consuming process.

Today, comparing and purchasing visitor insurance has become easier, but families still struggle with something more basic—simply getting trusted medical advice for their parents when they need it.

However, several everyday healthcare challenges still remain for families whose parents are visiting the USA. Many parents simply want reassurance from a doctor without navigating complex insurance procedures. Common concerns include:

• Consulting a doctor for minor health issues without dealing with complicated insurance processes
• Speaking with a doctor who understands their existing medical conditions
• Getting quick reassurance and peace of mind without unnecessary hospital visits

The Real Problem: Access to Reliable Care for Parents

Parental separation between India and the USA creates challenges that become more difficult to handle. The healthcare process becomes challenging because patients struggle to obtain necessary medical details due to communication problems.

The following list presents the main difficulties that families encounter:

• Difficulty discussing parents’ health with their doctors from the USA
• Extended delays when trying to book appointments with specialists and undergoing multiple diagnostic evaluations
• The healthcare system often begins treatment only after symptoms become visible instead of focusing on preventive care
• Limited access to medical records, which creates problems during emergencies and second-opinion medical assessments
