For Families

How we help the family members you love.

Older adults are lonely.

Isolation and loneliness affect more than half of the 54 million individuals over the age of 65 in the United States, increasing the risk of chronic disease and premature mortality.

Tech falls short.

Older adults remain disconnected from their communities because current solutions are not accessible to them. Most services don’t address this.

This impacts families.

Finances

The average healthcare cost per senior is 11.3K per year - the consequences of loneliness magnify this.

Happiness

Caring for the well-being of an elderly parent can be taxing on the mental and physical health of caregivers.

Senior relatives are concerned.

It’s common for seniors to experience a decline in the quality of their social lives as they age. For families, it’s difficult to watch them struggle to maintain social connections they once had.

With the high demands of daily living, it’s not always easy for family members to attend to the social needs of the seniors in their lives. Both seniors and their families need a solution.
