SeniorSynCare was born out of my personal caregiving journey with my grandmother, Stella. Stella was vibrant and independent, but as she aged, her health declined, and the once manageable situation spiraled into chaos. Despite the support from personal caregivers, friends, and family, coordinating her care became a full-time job. I was an executive, a mother, and a student. Managing her needs took a toll. The lack of clear communication between caregivers, unpredictable schedules, and constant emergencies made the process overwhelming.
Fortunately, my partner Jason, a software expert, created a tool that changed everything. The SeniorSynCare app helped me organize Stella’s care, keeping track of appointments, support worker schedules, and her social visits all in one place. With the app, I could keep the entire care circle informed, reduce confusion, and ensure Stella received quality care without having to micromanage every detail. It provided peace of mind during a very stressful time, allowing me to focus on spending meaningful time with Stella.
After getting things in order, I met Stella’s friend Brenda. As fate would have it, she was an end-of-life doula—a perfect match for what Stella and I needed. Brenda, now a key part of our team, stepped in to support Stella when I couldn’t be there. Using the web app, she scheduled appointments when I was not able to. Family and friends could easily keep both Brenda and me updated. Her expertise guided us through the end-of-life process, allowing for conversations with Stella that our family dynamics and lack of knowledge had previously made difficult. Brenda ensured we were all aligned with Stella’s wishes and helped us understand what to expect, which allowed Stella to pass peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. She was able to say her goodbyes, and her final days were filled with care and comfort, thanks to a fully supportive community.
SeniorSynCare now offers this solution to others. Our web app simplifies caregiving by coordinating care efficiently and privately, ensuring all parties are aligned. We help families build a supportive care community to give their loved ones the best quality of life until the end. Our goal is to transform end-of-life care into something meaningful, peaceful, and well-coordinated, alleviating the burdens that some of you might be facing right now.
