CareGrade™

CareGrade™ is built specifically to support families as they navigate one of the most complex, collaborative, and time-sensitive decisions they will make: selecting a senior living community. Unlike traditional directories or informational websites, CareGrade™ centers around CareCircle™, a collaborative family workspace designed for real-time decision-making. CareCircle™ replaces fragmented group texts, emails, spreadsheets, and handwritten notes with a shared, synchronized environment where invited family members can evaluate communities together. CareGrade™ helps families make informed senior living decisions with confidence. Search and compare assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and continuing care retirement communities using transparent information, verified public data, and the proprietary SeniorTrust™ Score methodology.

Senior living decisions rarely occur at a desktop computer. They happen during hospital discharges, while traveling between community tours, in physicians' offices, in parking lots, and during family conversations spread across multiple locations. CareGrade™ was designed as a mobile-first platform because these moments require immediate collaboration, real-time communication, location awareness, persistent state, and native notifications. CareGrade™ integrates native technologies including: • Apple Push Notifications to deliver real-time CareCircle™ activity, reminders, referral updates, and important family notifications directly to the lock screen. • Core Location to identify nearby communities, calculate travel distance, and generate personalized location-aware recommendations. • Sign in with Apple using AuthenticationServices • Native Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech for Clara™ • Local on-device persistence, allowing CareCircle™ conversations, saved communities, session state, and user preferences • Real-time synchronized data subscriptions, enabling every invited CareCircle™ member to see updates instantly when another participant saves a community, posts a note, or advances the family's decision workflow.
