Quality care requires all hands on deck.

We’re here to foster care communities–villages–for and by neighbors of all ages and bring medical support to their homes or close to where they live.

Introduction

HEALTH & WELL-BEING START AT HOME.

But only when we live in communities where we can receive, as well as give, care.

We call a care community a village.



We believe in-home care is a key to continued health.

6 in 10 Americans live with one or more chronic diseases, which cost trillions and can mostly be prevented through lifestyle and regular health screenings. We believe in-home care could increase screening rates and lead to livelier people and less use of ERs for primary care.

Caring neighbors are vital for our vitality.

Loneliness is at epidemic levels in the U.S. with harmful impacts on our health and costing billions a year to address. The good news is that community care shapes our basic health more than medical care. This means neighbors of all ages can make the best in-home caregivers.

Superior health care requires the people next door.

Beyond the health benefits of uniting neighbors, there are practical and economic ones too, like the power of physical proximity and resource sharing. It’s time to leverage people with high caring potential and provide medical backup where they are–at or close to home.

Here’s our plan
