Mom's new medication schedule. Donepezil moved to evening with dinner. Memantine still morning. Skip the afternoon dose entirely.
From morning check-in to coordinating with your sister in another state to finding someone online who knows exactly what you're feeling. Here's how each piece fits together.
When you sign in, you don't see a wall of notifications or a feed of strangers. You see the handful of things across all your care circles that need you today: the prescription pickup, the insurance call, the appointment you need to confirm.
Each circle has its own color, and its tasks carry a small tag in that color, so you know at a glance whether “Pick up prescription” is for your mom or your father-in-law. If someone in your family has asked for help and nobody has said yes yet, that request sits at the top.

A care circle is a private space for you, your siblings, your partner, a paid caregiver, anyone helping care for one person. You invite them by email or with a share link, and they sign in with an email link or Google. No passwords to remember.
Inside, you share updates (with photos), split up tasks, put appointments on a shared calendar, and keep the medication list and emergency info in one place everyone can find at 3am.
The text thread where you sent your brother medication photos? The email to your sister with doctor's instructions? The group chat someone left on mute? All of it lives here instead.
On Premium, the circle also gets a private document vault for insurance cards and legal papers, and drafting help for FMLA letters and hard family conversations.

Yesterday at 6pm
Quiet day. Margaret ate about half her lunch, some agitation around 4pm but settled with the lavender lotion routine. Full plate at dinner.
Some things your family can't help with. Sometimes you need to hear from someone who has already done the thing you're about to do: the first memory care tour, the first time your mom called you by her sister's name, the first Medicare appeal.
The community is organized by topic (dementia, sandwich gen, financial, self-care). Every post is tagged with what kind of post it is (a question, a vent, a celebration) so people respond the right way.
Post anonymously if you need to. Mark a reply as helpful and it rises to the top for the next person who has your same question.
