We built this for our own families. Every family can use it.
Caregiving does not knock first. It just arrives. When it arrived for our families, we wanted to make the road easier for the next one.
Caring for aging parents
We are Lauren and Jon Howard. We are married, we live in Noblesville, Indiana, and we started CAEVO because of the people we love.
Between us, we spent fifteen years in technology and fifteen in logistics. Both taught us the same lesson: when a system was not built around the person using it, you can build one that is.
Then we watched our parents step into caregiving. The programs were there and the benefits were there, but they were hard to find and hard to follow.
State resources sat ten clicks deep. The one piece of guidance that would have changed a decision showed up after the decision was made.
Why we built CAEVO
We’re both only children. However far off it feels, we already know who the call comes to, and we already know we’ll be taking it from hundreds of miles away. We saw the gap clearly: everyone wanted to help, and nothing helped them know how.
Around the same time, those same parents began asking a different question. Not how to prepare for the end, but how and where they wanted to spend the rest of their lives. That question matters as much as ours does, and we wanted one place built for both.
For the whole family
So we built what we wish our families had, and the one we want for ourselves. That’s why CAEVO is two hubs with a consent layer between them, built because the aging adult needed a place that respected their independence, and the family needed real visibility, and neither of those things should have had to come at the other’s expense.
Who we are
CAEVO is based in Noblesville, Indiana, built and led by Lauren and Jon Howard. We watched our families care for the people they love, and that is who we think of every day we work on this.
“What I care about most with this technology is making sure these advancements are used for good, solving the everyday challenges Americans face.”
