About Mimi Care.
Mimi Care is pronounced “Mee-mee Care.” It’s an app older adults can simply talk to about the mail, the bills, the medicines and the confusing screens, built by someone who has worked in senior living for more than 18 years.
We’re welcoming families a few at a time, so there may be a short wait after you sign up.
“I’ve worked in senior living for more than 18 years, and nothing prepared me for my own parents getting older. The calls were about a letter that might be a scam, the thermostat, the TV remote. Most of them came from my mom. Our family calls her Mimi, so I named it after her.”
Why I built it
A ton of bricks.
When I was younger I remember watching my parents deal with my grandparents on ordinary daily issues. Frustrations were high on both sides — my grandparents felt like they were being a burden, and my parents felt stretched thin trying to help.
As my parents have aged, it hit me like a ton of bricks: I’m in the same position now that they were in with their parents. My parents want to be independent. They don’t want to feel like they’re burdening their children. Although — sometimes I think they call with a problem just to have a conversation.
Mimi Care doesn’t replace that personal family connection. Nothing should. The purpose is to give a little independence back to the people who may need some additional assistance with the ordinary stuff — a confusing bill, a medication label, a letter that looks urgent but isn’t.
If you searched for “MimiCare” and landed here, yes, it’s the same app. It’s written Mimi Care, two words.
Help them stay independent.
