Built from lived experience.
We watched people we love care for people they love, through cancer, dementia, and a fall that changed everything overnight. That is why CAEVO exists.
As we watched our own parents age, we saw something bigger than caregiving. They wanted to live their lives more fully, and their families wanted to support them through every chapter. Plan early, and it is a conversation around the kitchen table.

What families are saying — on both sides of care
“A few months ago, there was a change in my father in law’s wife’s health. All the questions showed up. We started realizing how much of this process and what was to come was an unknown to us. It was scary and confusing to say the least. We heard about CAEVO and realized after a little investigation that it was the resource we needed. Memory loss and early dementia was in the future. CAEVO gave our family a guide and the resources we needed. Forever grateful for this resource and the team who made it happen. “
Kieth P., CAEVO User
“Great product and a huge stress relief. My parents are both approaching 80 and I’m fairly unorganized as it is. CAEVO has helped keep tabs and important info on my parents at my fingertips without stressing or sacrificing time with my kids.”
Nick F., CAEVO User
“I’m also a user, and here’s my honest take.
I used CAEVO to help plan care for my dad. My sister and I are his co-conservators, and keeping track of everything was a mess.
If you’re caring for a parent or planning for your own later years, it’s worth downloading.”
John G., CAEVO User
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CAEVO for caregivers or for people planning their own aging?
Both. Every account has both hubs, and you can add and switch between more than one family, like a spouse’s parents and your own.
Is CAEVO free?
To start, yes. Essentials is free, always, for one person. It includes both libraries and the everyday tools on each side, with no credit card required.
Is my family's information safe?
Yes. It’s encrypted with bank-level, 256-bit security and stored on US infrastructure, and the person aging controls what’s shared. See how we protect your data
Will I see everything about my parent?
No, you see what they choose to share. That’s on purpose. It keeps CAEVO from feeling like it’s watching anyone.
Can CAEVO find benefits I qualify for?
It shows you the programs in your state and county, like waivers, transportation, meals, respite, and legal aid, across all 50 states and DC.
My advisor, attorney, home care agency, or community offered me CAEVO. Do I pay?
If your organization covers it, you don’t need a paid plan. Check with them, or contact us to confirm before you sign up for anything.
