About Us
A free, not-for-profit companion for families caring for older adults — created by Ajay Thakral.
The Elderly Care Companion is a free, not-for-profit project built to ease the burden on families and caregivers of older adults — including those facing dementia, chronic illness, mobility challenges, and other age-related conditions. We bring calm, trustworthy tools into one simple place — so families can focus on what matters most: caring for the people they love.
What we offer
- A daily planner for medications, meals, appointments, and routines
- Personalized activity suggestions tailored to interests and abilities
- A family dashboard to coordinate care and share updates
- A memory profile capturing a loved one's life and preferences
- A directory of real local and national support resources
- A supportive AI companion for everyday caregiving questions
Our values
Compassion, privacy, and accessibility guide everything we build. Our tools are designed for older adults and non-tech-savvy caregivers, with large readable text and a calm, simple interface.
Important notice
The Elderly Care Companion is a supportive tool and does not replace professional medical care, diagnosis, or advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.
Who runs this
The Elderly Care Companion was created and is owned by Ajay Thakral. He built it after helping care for his own grandmother — an experience that showed him how much families are quietly asked to carry, and how little of it any one tool actually helps with. You can read more about him here.
It is a free, not-for-profit project with no ads and no data selling. If you'd like to help or get in touch, visit the Contact page.
