What They Say
What We Do
Extending Independence and Quality of Life
Keep your family member independent and at home as long as possible. We're here when daily care starts to feel overwhelming, but constant in-person care is not yet needed.
We provide consistent, affordable support through a dedicated care team and AI assistants, ensuring each person is well cared for. Most importantly, we keep you closely connected through daily updates and shared stories.
Cognition
We support cognition through structured exercises and guided conversations that encourage creativity, new learning, and emotional well-being. By addressing motivation, anxiety, and mood, we help reduce factors that can negatively affect cognition and support cognitive reserve.
Routines
We support daily routines by boosting motivation and acting as a memory aid. Velma can remind users when to take out the trash, guide through steps for cooking, getting dressed, or taking medications, and help sequence daily tasks. These small supports make everyday activities easier to manage
Insights & Alerts
Velma keeps families informed by highlighting changes that may need attention. This includes alerts for potential infections, shifts in mood or cognition, and other patterns that could affect daily life. Families get guidance from observations and anything users may not remember to share.

About Us
Our Advisors
We care deeply about making sure every one of our users is in good hands. We lean heavily on advisors, practitioners, and those who have spent decades taking care of seniors with dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment. They help us refine protocols, training materials, and conversation scripts to ensure they’re accurate, well-received, and reflect the highest standard of care.
Meet the Founder
I live several states away from my mom. She’s on her own and has had quite a few falls. I worry because I can’t check in as often as I’d like, and she tends to spend long stretches of the day just watching TV.
Velma has been caring for my mom since we started. Her cognition has stayed stable, and her mood is infinitely better. I enjoy our time together so much more; it's now lighter and more meaningful. It’s also reassuring to know someone is always looking out for her, even when my sister and I can’t be.
I wanted to use my background as a biomedical engineer to help others in similar situations. Along with our advisors and research, we incorporate feedback from caregivers, nurses, and what I've learned volunteering at Cornerstone Milford and leading reconnection programs at Compass Memory Support.
