Real Tools. Real Help. Right Now.

When my mom and I started our home care agency almost 20 years ago, tech wasn’t part of the caregiving toolkit. We were simply focused on helping families navigate the daily challenges of aging like mobility, memory loss, safety, and loneliness.

Fast forward to today, and there’s a tech tool or startup for just about everything. But here’s what’s frustrating:

So many of the “innovations” I hear about often are winners of awards, featured in prominent press releases, and backed by grant money, aren’t actually available to the people who need them.

• They’re still in beta testing or even just a concept.
• Only offered to those living in large senior communities or through a specific payor source.
• Or so complicated that no family caregiver would realistically use them.

That’s why I created Age Tech Now.

It’s a curated, searchable Directory of products and services that are available now, to consumers, not someday in the future. You don’t need to live in a specific zip code or wait for a pilot program. These are solutions you can act on today, many with discounts, too.

But Will Older Adults Use It?

There’s a myth that older adults “won’t use technology.” It’s simply not true.

• 61% of people over age 65 own a smartphone.
• 75% of those 65–74 are online daily.
• Millions of older adults already use tech to manage meds, order groceries, video chat with family, and even stream music.

The real barrier isn’t willingness. It’s access to the right tools and support to use them confidently.

When the tech is designed with aging in mind, not as an afterthought, older adults do engage. It’s often the clutter, complexity, or lack of guidance that gets in the way.

What You’ll Find in the Directory

The Age Tech Now Directory is searchable by what real people actually need help with:

• Memory and cognitive support
• Safer mobility and daily living
• Reducing isolation and improving social connection
• Managing finances and avoiding scams
• End-of-life planning and afterlife services
• Tools for long-distance caregivers to stay connected and informed

It’s clean, practical, and clutter-free. No popups. No jargon. No flashy sales language. Just solutions organized to save you time and frustration.

Coming Soon: The Age Tech Now Community

Because even with the right tools, caregiving is still hard. That’s why we’re launching a private community space where:

• Family caregivers, professionals, and innovators can share stories and struggles.
• You can ask questions and get real answers, without judgment.
• New tools and ideas are introduced in plain language, not press releases.
• Resources and Guidebooks for more guidance.
• You can learn from people who’ve created these tools, not just the marketing team.

This will not be another noisy Facebook group or a forum full of broken links. It’s a community space for practical ideas, honest insight, and a little peace of mind.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Explore the Directory now → Age Tech Now Directory
2. Sign up for the community waitlist → More Learn
3. Share this with someone—a colleague, client, or friend who’s trying to help an aging loved one and doesn’t know where to start.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. And you don’t have to wait for “someday” solutions. You just need a better way to find what already exists.
