What you may be going through
Navigating finances, healthcare, and legal systems
Managing medical appointments, medication schedules, health insurance, decision-making, and specialized care can be exhausting.
The elder law system is confusing. Understanding the complexities such as living wills, trusts, estate planning, powers of attorney, and guardianship can feel mystifying.
Balancing multiple responsibilities
Juggling care of aging parents, household duties, children, and full-time jobs can be overwhelming. Caregivers in the “sandwich generation” feel pulled in many directions, leaving little time for personal interests or relaxation.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Where should I start? Seems very overwhelming?
You’re not alone in feeling that way—starting can be the hardest part. A good first step is to consider what feels most urgent or challenging right now, whether it’s understanding your options, finding reliable resources, or organizing daily tasks. Our Free Tier provides some essential tools and guidance to help you get grounded. From there, we can work together to build a plan at a pace that feels manageable. Remember, we’re here to support you through each step. Let’s take it one piece at a time.
I have someone in the hospital trying to get home. What’s our options?
We can help make that transition as smooth as possible. To start, we’ll work with you to understand your loved one’s specific needs for a safe return home, such as in-home medical support, equipment, or help with daily tasks. If you’d like, we can coordinate with healthcare providers to ensure everything is in place before discharge. Our goal is to make sure you have the right support at home so you can feel confident about their care. Let’s talk through the details, and we’ll guide you through each step to get them settled comfortably.
If they are at home how do I know the services are there to support what they need?
We understand that it’s essential to feel confident in the care your loved one is receiving. We can help assess their specific needs and identify services that are well-suited to support them. Our team is experienced in vetting providers and ensuring they meet high standards for quality, reliability, and compassion. We’ll check in regularly to make sure the services are working effectively and can make adjustments as needs change. You don’t have to manage this alone—we’re here to help you find and maintain the right support for your loved one’s well-being at home.
It seems easier to just put them in a nursing home or assisted living. Why not just do that?
It’s completely understandable to feel that way—caring for someone at home can be challenging. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities can provide structure and support, but many people find comfort, familiarity, and independence by staying in their own homes. If keeping your loved one at home is a priority, we’re here to help make it easier by connecting you to the right services, coordinating care, and ensuring they have the support they need to stay safe and well. Let’s explore options that balance their safety and well-being with what works best for your family.
How can I possibly organize all the different things they need to stay at home?
Organizing everything can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. We can help you break down the different aspects of care—like medical needs, daily support, home modifications, and financial planning—into manageable steps. Our app also offers personalized to-do lists and helpful reminders, so you can keep track of what needs to be done. We’re here to guide you through each part of the process, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and that your loved one has everything they need to stay comfortably and safely at home.
Can someone organize all the needed services for us?
Absolutely, we can take care of that for you. Our team specializes in coordinating all the services your loved one needs, from healthcare providers and home support to specialized resources. We handle the details—like verifying availability, arranging schedules, and ensuring each service meets quality standards—so you can focus on your loved one without the stress of managing multiple providers. Our goal is to make sure they have seamless, reliable support at home.
How do I talk with the rest of my family about the options of living at home.
Having these conversations can be tough, especially when everyone has different perspectives and concerns. A good approach is to start by sharing your loved one’s wishes and values—what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. We can help by providing you with clear information about the options for living at home, including the support available to make it work. If it would be helpful, we can also facilitate a family meeting to discuss the options, address concerns, and answer any questions, so everyone feels informed and on the same page. You don’t have to navigate this alone; we’re here to support you and your family.
How do I get help coordinating and keeping up with how my loved one is aging?
Keeping up with a loved one’s changing needs can be challenging, especially as they age. We can help you monitor their care and make adjustments as needed, so you’re always prepared for the next step. With our coordination services, we’ll ensure they have the right support in place, track any changes in their health, and adjust services to meet evolving needs. Our app can also keep you updated with reminders, progress notes, and alerts, making it easier to stay involved and informed. You don’t have to do this alone—our team is here to help you every step of the way.
It must be very expensive to have someone around all the time trying to take care of my loved one.
It’s understandable to be concerned about costs—around-the-clock care can be expensive, but there are many options to explore based on your loved one’s specific needs. Full-time care isn’t always necessary; sometimes, a few well-coordinated services, such as scheduled visits from healthcare professionals, companion care, or assistance with daily tasks, can provide enough support without the high cost of constant care. We can help you design a care plan that balances quality and affordability, ensuring your loved one has the support they need without overextending resources. Let’s look at what’s truly needed to keep them safe and comfortable.
How much will this cost?
The cost can vary depending on the level of support and specific services your loved one needs. We understand that budget is a big consideration, and we’re here to work with you to create a care plan that fits within your means. We offer different membership options and flexible support levels, so you can choose what best suits your situation. Let’s start with a conversation about your needs and priorities, and we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs so you can make an informed decision.
