We want older people to stay at home for as long as possible
And we want their families to know they are not on their own. Viola connects families with vetted, self-employed carers quickly, transparently and with a personal approach.
Where it started
Most of us will one day need to arrange care for a parent or grandparent. It usually happens suddenly: a fall, a hospital stay, a diagnosis. And at that moment families meet a system with long waiting lists, limited capacity and very little flexibility.
We knew this from our own families. And we believed that arranging care deserves the same speed and simplicity as other parts of modern life.
A different approach
So we built Viola: a digital platform that connects older people and their families with vetted carers, quickly, simply and at a clear price.
Carers on Viola are self-employed. They choose the families and the hours that suit them. Viola vets them, matches them with families and takes care of the agreement, invoicing and payments, so both sides can focus on what matters: good, kind care.

How Viola works
Viola is an introductory platform. We do not employ carers and we do not provide care ourselves.
Family
Tells us what help is needed, chooses the carer and agrees the care directly with them.
Viola
Vets carers, matches them with families, handles the agreement, invoicing and payments and helps when plans change.
Self-employed carer
Chooses the families and hours that suit them and provides the care independently.
Care at home that is there when someone really needs it, for every family in Europe.
The founders
Viola was founded by Eduard Suchánek, Lukáš Uher and Jan Hlaváč, friends from secondary school.
Before Viola, they helped build one of Europe’s most successful startups and worked in large corporations. Now they put that experience into a problem they care about personally.
The team behind Viola
A company is not built only on ideas and technology. It is built on people. Today we are a team of 18 in Prague, working every day to bring care for older people closer to how we think it should be.
