Taking care of the people you love shouldn’t be so hard. Let tendercare do the hard work for you.
At tendercare, we're transforming the experience of tending to a loved one. We understand caregiving can often feel like navigating a complex maze of responsibilities and information. But it doesn't have to be that way. With the help of technology, we're working to bridge the gap, making it easier and more affordable for anyone stepping into the role of family caregiver. Our goal is to make the process smoother, so you can focus on the important part—the loving bond with your loved ones. With tendercare, we're not just providing tools, we're offering guidance, support, and a community to lean on, because the journey of caregiving should be about love, not obstacles.

The story behind tendercare
This is Mike, Shauna’s dad. He raised her as a single parent, and they’ve been best friends since the beginning.
But, in 2014, Shauna’s dad Mike was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. This immediately put an end to his career and changed every aspect of both their daily lives.
Overnight, with a busy day job in big tech and from nearly 3,000 miles away, Shauna became responsible for managing her Dad’s life in addition to her own. With no experience, know-how, or expertise, she found herself hacking tools and services to manage all of Mike’s needs from a distance and honor his wishes for living at home.
To do this, Shauna assembled a remote platform for taking care of another adult’s life. 8 years later, Mike is one of the lucky few, still aging in his home - the one Shauna grew up in. Shauna founded tendercare to put the lessons she learned, and solutions she created into the hands of anyone taking care of an adult loved one.
Our Team
Shauna Sweeney
Founder & CEO
Shauna founded tendercare from the inside of the problem. When her father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, she became his primary caregiver overnight — managing his life remotely while serving as a tech executive at Meta. She built the tools she needed but couldn't find, so no family would have to start from scratch again.
Matt Anchin
Head of Business Development & Partnerships
Matt is the person companies call when the moment is too important to get wrong. When his mom's Alzheimer's required professional care, his family was fortunate: a care guide changed the entire course for them. He saw what that made possible, and who doesn't get access to it. At tendercare, he builds the partnerships and infrastructure to make sure more families get that.
