Caring for a loved one shouldn't require a medical degree
Care Compass gives family caregivers personalized, expert-reviewed guidance for dementia, Parkinson's, and the realities of caring for someone living with more than one condition.
Not a textbook. Not a search engine. A compass — pointed at what your family needs to understand next.
The largest unpaid workforce in America
Family caregivers carry an enormous load with almost no preparation. The knowledge they need exists — but not in a form built for them.
- More than 63 million Americans care for a family member with one or more chronic diseases.
- They provide over a trillion dollars of care each year — unpaid, and mostly unprepared.
- Most caregiving knowledge is siloed by disease. Real families face comorbidities: dementia and Parkinson’s together are different from either alone.
- In the moment, caregivers don’t need a textbook. They need the right next thing to know.
How Care Compass works
We call the approach Precision Learning: expert-reviewed knowledge, filtered to your family's situation, delivered as a journey instead of a manual.
Start from trusted knowledge
Care Compass is built on structured medical knowledge about dementia and Parkinson’s — reviewed by a clinical panel of physicians who work with these diseases every day.
Tell us about your family
Every caregiving situation is different: the diagnosis, the stage, your time, your stress, your questions. Care Compass starts with your family’s reality, not a table of contents.
Get your personal compass
Instead of a 200-topic textbook, you get a focused map of what matters for your situation right now — often a few dozen concepts, in the order you actually need them.
Keep a Care Journal
As the disease progresses, stress rises, or new research lands, your compass updates. The Care Journal tracks where you’ve been and what to prepare for next.
Reviewed by clinicians, not scraped from the internet
Every knowledge base behind Care Compass goes through an editorial review panel of practicing physicians — including gerontology and community dementia-care leadership — before it reaches a caregiver.
For health systems and associations
We're inviting hospital associations, health systems, and caregiver organizations to sponsor the Care Compass beta and bring personalized caregiver support to their communities. Start a conversation.
