Kindred catches the scam calls before they cost anything, keeps appointments and medications on track, makes the phone calls they'd rather not, and lets you know each day that they're okay. A simple app for them. A calm command center for you.
A "bank" calls. A fake invoice arrives. By the time anyone tells you, the money's already gone. In 2024, the average older victim lost about $83,000.
A missed cardiology visit. A dose skipped two days running. You're keeping track of meds, rides and bills from two time zones away, and some of it slips.
You don't really know how today went, so you call again, half out of worry and half out of guilt. There's no quiet way to just know they're fine.
Most tools solve one slice and leave you stitching the rest together. Kindred covers the whole picture — protection, reminders, an assistant that gets things done, and daily peace of mind — across one simple app for your parent and one command center for you.
Kindred watches for the calls, texts and emails built to fool an aging parent — and flags or blocks them before money moves. Their app warns them in the moment; you get an alert too.
Every dose, every visit, every ride — surfaced as a gentle, large-text nudge in their app, and visible at a glance in yours. Nothing slips, and you both stay on the same page.
Booking appointments, sitting on hold with the insurer, sorting a bill, arranging a ride — your parent taps one button and Kindred's assistant makes the call and handles the admin for them.
A simple daily check-in from their app — they're up, well, on track — that quietly reaches you. So you know without having to call. Anything unusual, and Kindred lets you know first.
Kindred is two connected apps — one designed for your parent, one for you. They each get exactly what they need, and nothing they don't.
A deliberately tiny app: big text, big buttons, almost nothing to learn. It keeps their phone and number exactly as they are, and only ever shows the one thing that matters right now.
Everything in one calm dashboard. Set up their reminders, see what's handled, and step in the moment something actually needs you — without hovering or constant calls.
You help set their app up once — about fifteen minutes — and from then on it stays quiet and out of the way for both of you, surfacing only what matters.
You're the one who lies awake wondering if they're okay. Kindred gives that worry a home — a system you control, sitting quietly between you and your parent, catching the things that would otherwise slip.
That's why Kindred works where single-purpose eldercare apps stall: the person who feels the pain stays in control, and the person being protected barely has to change a thing.
About fifteen minutes. You install the command center on your phone and the simple app on theirs, add their meds and key appointments, and you're done.
It screens scam calls, sends gentle reminders to their app, and makes the calls and bookings they'd rather avoid — all with their consent.
One daily glance tells you everything's fine. The only time Kindred pulls you in is the moment something actually needs you.
Your parent installs Kindred themselves and can always see what's shared. Nothing happens behind their back.
Granular permissions on calls, money and health. You agree the line together, and either of you can change it.
Big text, big buttons, one screen at a time. It keeps their existing phone and number — no behavior change required.
I don't need to manage my dad. I need to know he's okay and step in fast when he isn't. That's the whole thing.
Yes — but it's deliberately one of the simplest apps they'll ever use. Big text, big buttons, one screen at a time, and only ever the thing that matters right now. You set it up with them in a few minutes, and it keeps their existing phone and number. The goal is near-zero effort, not another complicated app to learn.
No. Kindred is built on consent. Your parent installs their own app and can always see what's being shared, and you both choose which areas — calls, money, health, day-to-day — you're involved in. It's a safety net you agree to together, not surveillance.
Those each solve one slice. Kindred is the bundle no one else owns: scam protection, appointments and meds, an assistant that actually makes calls and bookings, and daily check-ins — all connecting one simple app for your parent to one command center for you, instead of four apps you'd have to stitch together yourself.
The adult child — roughly 45 to 60 — caring for a parent around 70 to 85 who still lives independently, often from a distance, and can use a smartphone at a basic level. If you're the family's de-facto CFO and IT department for your parent, Kindred is built for you both.
