We are a team of personal and professional caregivers who have experienced both the joys and challenges of caring for a loved one with chronic health conditions.
We are a team of personal and professional caregivers who have experienced both the joys and challenges of caring for a loved one with chronic health conditions.
One goal we share is to ensure that our loved one is getting the best care possible in a timely manner, especially when dealing with progressive neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or dementia where the family member may slowly be losing their agency. We believe that family caregivers are in a very unique position to not only care for the older adult, but also advocate for their health and well-being.
Navigating healthcare can be a very isolating experience. With Care-Wallet, we aim to change the family caregiving experience by bringing more personalized care management approaches to the home and making it easy for the family members to care for their loved ones in a supported and guided manner, irrespective of their backgrounds.
