The same people, every visit, year after year.
A Care Team is the small group of people assigned to one property. They are the ones who run the Rounds, perform the Procedures, and maintain the Chart. They are not a crew that gets sent. They are a team that knows your home.
A Care Team is not a crew that gets sent to your home. It is a small group of people who know your home.

What a Care Team is
A small group of salaried employees, assigned to one property, who do every Round and every Procedure on that property — and who are the same people every time.
A Care Team is the smallest unit of CuraHaus. Every member's property has one. It is led by a team lead who knows the property by name, and it includes the small group of other CuraHaus employees the member will see most often. Within the first year of membership, most members come to know everyone on their team. Within the second year, the team knows the home better than the member does in some ways — the corners of the lawn that drain slow, the valves that stick, the windows that fog when the temperature drops.
What makes a Care Team different from a service crew is structural. The people on it are salaried employees with full benefits, year-round work, and a real career path — not subcontractors, not 1099 contractors, not seasonal hires. They are paid the same in February as they are in July. They are not racing between jobs to hit a quota. They are not optimizing for volume. The economic model is built so the people doing the work can do it carefully.
The team is also multi-trade by design. A Care Team includes people whose primary specialties span the broad set of trades CuraHaus offers — from landscape and mechanical work to renovation, stonework, roofing, and the handyman tasks that hold a property together — but every member of the team is cross-trained enough to recognize issues outside their specialty and document them in the Chart. When a Round picks up a problem with a different system, it does not get lost. It gets noted, scheduled, and handled by the right person on the same team.

How Care Teams come together
Through three paths — experienced tradespeople from acquired businesses, career changers from the Residency Program, and new entrants through the Trade Academy. All three converge at the same standard.
CuraHaus does not assemble Care Teams from the gig labor market. The people on them come through three deliberate paths, each of which produces a different kind of strength and all of which converge at the same standard of care.
The first path is acquisition. When CuraHaus integrates an established local trade business into the practice, the people who built that business become part of CuraHaus. Their experience, their knowledge of the local properties they have served for years, and their relationships with the customers they have built trust with all carry forward. They are not laid off, not re-interviewed, not asked to prove themselves again. They are brought into the practice with continuity, given the CuraHaus tools and standards, and put on the Care Teams that serve the homes they already know.
The second path is the Residency Program, CuraHaus's structured pathway for career changers — people coming out of white-collar fields who want to do work that is real, that they can see at the end of the day, and that cannot be automated away. The Residency Program gives them the technical training and the real-world experience they need to become productive members of a Care Team within twelve to eighteen months, paid throughout.
The third path is the Trade Academy, CuraHaus's apprenticeship program for people entering the trades for the first time. The Academy partners with vocational schools and community colleges in the region to identify candidates, and brings them into a multi-year structured program that combines classroom education, field training under experienced Care Team leads, and paid work from day one. Graduates of the Academy emerge as licensed, certified, and fully integrated members of the practice.
All three paths feed into the same Care Teams, the same standards, the same Chart, the same uniforms. A team lead who came up through acquisition works alongside a Residency graduate who works alongside an Academy apprentice. The standard is what they share.

What it feels like to have a Care Team
The first visit, the gradual recognition, the moment you stop having to re-explain your home, and the long arc of being known.
On the first visit, the Care Team comes for the Assessment. The team lead introduces themselves. The other members of the team introduce themselves. They walk the property with the member, take photographs, ask questions, and listen. By the end of the visit, the member has met the people who will be coming back for the next several years.
The first Round happens within a few weeks. The Care Team arrives on time, in the same uniforms, in the same vehicle, with the Chart already loaded with everything from the Assessment. The member does not have to explain anything. The team already knows the corner of the yard the dog dug up, the stuck garage door, the boiler that runs slightly loud. The visit ends with notes added to the Chart and the next Round confirmed.
By the third or fourth visit, the relationship has settled. The member recognizes the team by name. The team recognizes the member's family, their schedule, their preferences. Things start to happen without being asked for. The Care Team sees that a downspout has come loose and reattaches it. They notice that an outdoor outlet has stopped working and add it to the next Round. They mention that the gutters are due for clearing in three weeks and propose a Procedure date that fits the member's calendar.
By the second or third year, the experience has become something most members did not realize they could have. Their home is being kept up by people they know, on a schedule they trust, with a level of attention they could not have produced themselves. They have stopped thinking about maintenance as a series of looming problems. The Care Team is the reason.
Everything else CuraHaus does is built on top of Care Teams. Without them, the rest of the model is just paperwork.
The Chart only matters if the same people are reading it. The Care Plan only matters if the same people are executing it. The Evaluation only matters if the same people are watching the property change over time. Every other part of CuraHaus is downstream of one structural decision: that the people who care for a home should know it, and that knowing it requires being there long enough to actually learn.
That is why Care Teams are salaried, why they are multi-trade, why they are kept small, why the practice grows slowly enough to keep them stable. The whole model is built so the people doing the work can stay long enough to do it well.
Meet your Care Team at Assessment.
Intake is the first step. Assessment is where you meet the people who will be caring for your home. From there, your Care Plan, your first Round, and the long relationship that follows.
