TeamCare

What TeamCare does

TeamCare is a New Jersey-based, licensed provider of support services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), founded in 2015 and operating as TeamCare LLC out of Lakewood, NJ. The company delivers four core service lines: Self-Directed Respite Care for children ages 0-21 (where families recruit and hire a trusted caregiver who is reimbursed through a government-funded program), Community-Based Support for adults 21+ (pairing clients with a Direct Support Professional for social, recreational, and independence-building activities), Home-Based Support for adults 21+ (assistance with daily living tasks such as cooking, cleaning, dressing, and appointments), and Intensive In-Community (IIC) mental health services for children and teens aged 5-21 (weekly therapy sessions with licensed clinicians). Services are accessed primarily through New Jersey state eligibility programs, with PerformCare care managers, support coordinators, and case managers acting as the principal referral pathways.

TeamCare holds state-level licensure through the NJ Department of Children and Families and the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities, and operates as a qualified provider for Medicaid-funded waiver programs and PerformCare-administered services. The company reports coverage across all 21 New Jersey counties, a 251-500 employee base, and self-identification as "New Jersey's #1 preferred agency" for I/DD services. Customer acquisition is community-led and referral-driven, including a formal Refer-a-Friend program that pays $100 Amazon e-Cards for each successfully onboarded family.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through government reimbursement: the company is paid by NJ state programs (Medicaid waivers, PerformCare, NJ DCF, NJ DDD) for delivered respite hours, DSP hours, and clinical IIC sessions, with services provided at no direct cost to eligible families. The business model is fundamentally labor-driven (vetted DSPs and licensed clinicians), with self-directed respite adding an administrative-services layer where TeamCare processes timesheets and issues caregiver reimbursements. No proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, mobile app, funding rounds, acquisitions, or out-of-state operations are disclosed.
