Does Threaded Care arrange care or respite?

No. It does not provide or arrange nursing, respite, home care or placement.

How many people are family caregivers?

AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving estimate 63 million Americans provide ongoing care. That counts caregivers, not employees.

Can I use it if I care for a friend, not a relative?

Yes. Who you support is up to you.

Is there anything here just for me?

Yes. Your own adult profile and the resources available to you are separate from the person you care for.

For working caregivers

Caring for someone should not mean losing track of yourself.

What helps someone who works and cares for a family member?

Two things: one place for the information the care depends on, and a deliberate step for yourself. Caregivers often carry appointments, questions and updates in their head while working. Threaded Care helps you organize that information and keep a profile for your own needs. It does not provide nursing, respite, placement or eldercare management.

What this can look like

Illustrative examples, not customer stories or testimonials.

Illustrative example: a son and his father's appointments

Kevin manages his father's appointments from his desk at work. Before each visit he notes the two questions that matter most, so he is not trying to remember them in the waiting room.

Illustrative example: a sister supporting a sibling

Amara helps her adult sister with paperwork and check-ins. She keeps their shared next steps in one list and adds one thing each week just for herself.

What Threaded Care actually does here

Threaded Care keeps the information side of caregiving easier to hold.

Family information in one place

Organize notes and information for the people you support so you are not rebuilding the story each time.

Your own adult profile

Create an account and set up a profile for yourself. Family profiles are optional, not required.

Resources and relevant support

Browse available resources and, when you choose to, connect with the people who support you, such as a provider or a school.

What it is not: Threaded Care is not a nursing, respite, home-care, placement or eldercare-management service, and it does not give medical advice.
