Mariposa Technologies announced this month that the number of agency locations using its platform grew 122% in the first half of 2026. It’s a notable data point on its own, but it’s also a useful signal for anyone watching where private duty home care technology is headed.
A Shift in What Agencies Are Looking For
Home care agencies have traditionally evaluated software on a fairly narrow set of criteria:
- Does it handle scheduling?
- Does it handle billing?
- Does payroll integration work?
Those fundamentals still matter, but agencies are increasingly looking past them to a broader question:
Does this technology help us build stronger relationships across the entire care ecosystem?
That means tools that make it easier for caregivers to focus on the people they’re caring for, keep family members informed and engaged without creating extra work for office staff, and give agency leaders room to grow their business rather than simply keep it running.
Mariposa’s growth this year suggests a meaningful number of agencies are actively shopping with that broader perspective in mind.
What Agencies Are Saying
“Technology should make caregiving easier. With Mariposa, it is easy and it just works.”
— Sunny Jin, COO, With Home Care
It’s a simple statement, but it captures what many agencies say they want most: software that does what it’s supposed to do without getting in the way.
Two Paths, Depending on Where an Agency Is Starting From
Part of what’s driving adoption is that Mariposa offers agencies more than one way to get started.
Mariposa Complete is a full private duty home care platform covering scheduling, billing, payroll integration, and day-to-day operations for agencies ready to run their business on a single system.
For agencies that aren’t looking to replace their existing software right away, Mariposa Reach is designed to work alongside platforms agencies already use—including WellSky and AxisCare—to strengthen client and family engagement without requiring a full system change.
That flexibility appears to be resonating. Agencies can start wherever it makes the most sense for them rather than facing an all-or-nothing decision.
A Platform Built Around People, Not Just Paperwork
At the center of Mariposa’s approach is a simple idea: home care software works best when it connects everyone involved in a client’s care—caregivers, office staff, families, and care partners—all working from shared, up-to-date information.
The platform is HIPAA-compliant and available by subscription, with the free Mariposa Care companion app for iOS and Android helping families and care partners stay connected.
From Sunny’s perspective:
“Mariposa’s client-centered design enables meaningful collaboration between caregivers, families, and our office. Their solution also helps strengthen our own brand and relationships with clients.”
As more agencies look for technology that supports both operations and relationships, Mariposa’s momentum this year is worth watching.
