For professionals

For people who support family carers

If you work with families caring for someone with dementia — as a charity, an Admiral Nurse, a social worker, a GP, a memory clinic, a hospice, a carers' centre, a faith community or a US Area Agency on Aging — we'd love to make your job easier, and theirs.

Who this is for

Dementia charities & carers' centres

Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, Carers UK, local carers' hubs, Alzheimer's Association chapters and Area Agencies on Aging. A gentle, practical tool you can point families to.

Admiral Nurses, GPs & memory clinics

Hand families a one-page printable summary at every appointment. Daily logs surface trends weeks before they would otherwise be raised.

Social workers & local authorities

Families arrive at needs assessments with the evidence already collated — expenses, gifts, medications, observations and the LPA in one place.

Hospices, faith communities & community groups

A gentle resource you can mention in bereavement, befriending and pastoral conversations — no app store login, no contract.

Real moments it helps with

Pre-diagnosis: 'something's not right'

Families can quietly log changes in memory, mood, sleep and behaviour for weeks before the first GP appointment. The pattern they bring to the clinic is worth far more than a panicked sentence.

Newly-diagnosed: the first 90 days

POA, benefits, council/Medicare paperwork, medication list, emergency contacts, and a shared family picture — set up once, used for years.

Hospital admission

The hospital pack prints in two taps: medications, allergies, baseline behaviour, communication preferences, what calms them. Ward staff have what they need on arrival.

Choosing a care home / assisted living

Compare homes near the family, store CQC / state inspection notes, visit checklists, and once chosen, receive daily updates from the home itself.

Ways we'd love to work with you

  • Refer families directly. A short, free, no-card 7-day trial — no sales pitch.
  • A leaflet or email template we can co-write for your service, in your tone of voice.
  • A short talk or webinar for your team, your volunteers, or the families you support.
  • Co-authored content. If you have a guide we should write together, we'd love to.
  • Bulk seats for organisations who want to offer it as a standard part of their service — see UK pricing or US pricing, or get in touch for a price that works.

Privacy & safeguarding

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest
  • UK / EU hosted; US data residency on request
  • No AI training on family notes
  • The family owns and controls their data — export or delete anytime
  • Not a medical device; doesn't replace clinical records

Free for the families who need it most

Outreach email template

If you're a family carer wanting to share this with a dementia charity, carers' group, Admiral Nurse team, social worker, memory clinic or place of worship — feel free to copy, edit and send. Personalise the bracketed bits.

Subject: A quiet tool to help the dementia families you support

Hi [first name],

I'm [your name] — I'm reaching out because [your charity / your group / your clinic] does extraordinary work for families caring for someone with dementia, and I've built something that might make a real difference to them.

It's called The Care Companion. It's one private, calm place where a family carer can keep:

  • Medications, appointments and the daily two-minute observation log
  • The Power of Attorney / healthcare proxy, care plans and council/Medicare letters
  • A one-page summary to hand the GP, primary-care doctor or memory clinic at every visit
  • A kind, evidence-based AI guide (Sierra) for the 3am questions

It was built by a family carer (me), after I took on full responsibility for my gran while pregnant, raising a young child, and working full time. I lived the binders, the wall calendars, the 3am panic, and the fear of missing something important. The Care Companion is the tool I wished existed then.

A few ways we could work together:

  • A short co-written leaflet or email you can share
  • A 20-minute talk for your team or your volunteers
  • Co-authored guides on topics your families actually ask about


There is no sales call. No data sharing. No AI training on family notes. Just a quieter week for the families you're already supporting.

Would you have 15 minutes in the next fortnight for a quick chat? I'll work around your diary.

Warmly,
[Your name]
The Care Companion

A carer benefit for your workforce

FAQ

Do you take referrals from clinicians?

Yes — but please share the link with the family rather than signing them up. The account belongs to the family. They invite you in if they want to.

Is it a medical device?

No. It's a private organiser for the family. It doesn't make clinical decisions or replace clinical records.

Is the AI safe?

Sierra signposts to GP, primary-care doctor, after-hours nurse line or emergency services rather than diagnosing. We log nothing that identifies a person to the model and don't train on family content.

Will my organisation be promoted?

Only if you ask. We'll happily list partner organisations on the site, in carer onboarding, or in regional content.
