When you're helping care for an aging parent or loved one, there’s always that moment when something changes, and you realize you need more than just good intentions. You need expert support. Maybe it’s legal paperwork. Maybe it’s a housing transition. Maybe it’s figuring out how to keep someone safe and supported at home.

The truth is, care needs are always evolving. What started with a few doctor’s appointments can quickly become a tangle of financial, legal, and logistical challenges. And it’s not just about getting it done—it’s about doing it right.

That’s why we built the tendercare Trusted Network—a new feature in the tendercare app that connects you with vetted, local professionals and services in the moments that matter most.

From in-home care and Medicaid planning to real estate support, legal help, financial guidance, and more. But these are not just names in a database. Our team has personally vetted every verified member and comes highly recommended for serving families with care, clarity, and compassion.

“When Shauna [the tendercare Founder and CEO] told me about tendercare, I said—why did it take so long? I get calls at 2 a.m. from families in the ER asking me to send healthcare proxies. You don’t know how complicated a person’s life is—until you’re the one taking care of them. Now, they can have what they need in one place. That’s game-changing.”

— Mike LaMagna, elder law attorney and verified provider

What makes the Trusted Network different?

Most directories just dump dozens of names on you, with no context, no vetting, and leaving you with no idea where to begin. Or, even worse, they sell your name to an unknown number of providers who then bombard you with emails, texts, and calls.

tendercare is built differently:

✅ We clearly indicate verified members: These are top-tier professionals—vetted, credentialed, and interviewed by our team. They appear apart from general results.

🔍 We also list other options: We believe families deserve visibility and choice. All providers are labeled, so you know who has been verified.

📍 Results are personalized: We tailor service providers based on zip code, unique care needs, stage, and goals.

🔒 It’s private: tendercare never sells your data. You choose who to contact, when, and how.

“I’ve wanted something like this for years—a trusted list of services for elder care,” said Jennifer, a senior real estate specialist in Westchester County, NY. “Families are overwhelmed, and with tendercare backing every vetted provider, it finally gives them a trusted place to start. I can say, ‘they are legit.’”

It’s about time someone built the front door

We hear it every day: “I didn’t even know what to search for.”

With 10,000 people turning 65 every day, families across the country are being thrust into caregiving without a guide—and, on the flipside, trusted professionals are struggling to connect with people who need them most.

“There used to be no single place to turn for finding help, but now, there is,” said JP, a home care agency founder. “You can’t just buy your way onto this platform. That’s a significant shift from everything else out there.”
