CircleCare is a mobile app for families coordinating care for a loved one — whether that's an aging parent, a spouse going through treatment, a child with a chronic condition, or someone recovering from surgery. It brings your care team into a private circle with a shared calendar, medication tracking, activity feed, and emergency info — so everyone stays informed without group chat chaos. Available on iOS and Android.

How does CircleCare help when caregiving responsibilities feel unequal?

CircleCare keeps everyone on the same page with a shared calendar, medication tracking, and an activity feed. When all family members can see the same schedule and medication confirmations, there's less miscommunication and less stress.

How much does CircleCare cost?

$6.99/month, or $59.99/year with a 1-week free trial. Up to 5 care circles and unlimited family members. Only the care circle creator needs a subscription — invited members use CircleCare completely free. Cancel anytime.

How is CircleCare different from Lotsa Helping Hands or CaringBridge?

CircleCare focuses specifically on family coordination and contribution tracking. Lotsa Helping Hands is best for coordinating larger volunteer communities, while CaringBridge is designed for sharing health updates during medical journeys. CircleCare is purpose-built for the ongoing, day-to-day coordination needs of family caregiving.

Can long-distance caregivers use CircleCare?

Absolutely. The activity feed, shared calendar, and medication confirmations keep distant family members informed without having to call and ask. Many care teams include people who live far away.
