Family Plan
Every family needs a plan. And way too often, there ends up being fighting between siblings and family members as parents get older. It doesn’t have to be this way. In your Family Plan, siblings can decide whose going to help with what, create notes on specific topics to help stay organized, and make updates related to your parents that are then automatically shared with other family members (or whoever you deem gets updates). Finally, a better way for families to handle things.

So many ways ParentCare gives you peace of mind...
Emergency Happens With Dad
Before: 911 can’t reach Mom so they call me…and they urgently need to know what medications Dad is on, but I don’t know off the top of my head.
After: I log into my ParentCare account and have immediate access to the medicines, dosages and how long Dad has been on them…so now they can treat Dad immediately.
Don’t Live Near My Parents
Before: I help them fix technology things and stuff around the house when I visit occasionally.
After: I get fresh ideas and “parent instructions” every month in my ParentCare account on things like technology and everyday living conveniences that I can email, mail or even explain to my parents over the phone that are so helpful and meaningful to them.
All They Talk About is Health Stuff
Before: When I talk to my parents, all they seem to talk about is health stuff and it makes me hesitant to call or know how to help.
After: In my ParentCare account is the Annual Health Check-In, with 10 questions to ask my parents once a year. This not only shows I care, but it takes off the table talking about it again until next year!
Siblings Fight About Who Helps
Before: My sister and I grow more and more disgruntled about who is perceived to be doing more.
After: In our ParentCare account we have pre-decided who does what and there is harmony in the family.
Something Happened
Before: I don’t have access to any of my parent’s key contacts, where things are saved, or anything else because I waited too long to ask them for this information.
After: In my ParentCare account are recommendations on what information I should ask them for, as well as incredibly simple and loving ways to ask them about it…and it feels so good to be prepared, since it’s not if, but when they’ll need help.
My Parents Only Have a Will
Before: They saved everything with financial value in their will, but what about all the priceless things like family ancestry, traditions, recipes, memories and more (that have even more value).
After: In my ParentCare account are recommendations on what to save, questions to ask my parents about our family and their life story, and so much more…priceless.
I Avoid the Hard Conversations
Before: Having conversations on living preferences and when to stop driving are really uncomfortable.
After: In my ParentCare account are How to Handle Guides on every situation I’ll face just like these, made so much easier with step-by-step ways to handle.
Can’t Reach My Parents
Before: I haven’t been able to reach my parents for a few days and I’m really worried something happened.
After: Because I have their neighbor’s and friend’s contact information in my ParentCare account, I can send a quick text to ask them to check in on them and make sure everything is ok…plus they’ll have my information should they ever need to share anything else.
