CareHub vs Foothold
Long-running human-services EHR (now Inwellness) with broad case-management coverage
Built for DD-waiver providers, with AI-assisted documentation, transparent pricing, and free migration from Foothold.
Who typically uses Foothold?
Foothold (now part of the Inwellness family) is most commonly used by larger nonprofit human-services agencies running multiple programs, IDD alongside homeless services, mental health, child welfare, or workforce development.
How Foothold compares to CareHub
Foothold Technology, now operating as part of Inwellness, has been a long-standing player in the human-services EHR space. Its strength is breadth: it serves IDD providers alongside homeless-services agencies, mental-health programs, and other multi-program nonprofits. That breadth is also what differentiates CareHub. Where Foothold is a generalist platform that fits IDD as one of many use cases, CareHub is purpose-built for DD-waiver residential, day, in-home, and sponsored-residential providers. For a small or mid-size DD-waiver provider, CareHub will typically feel faster to onboard, faster to use day-to-day, and cheaper to operate than Foothold.
