Here's a favorite photo of my mother, Carol, and me on my wedding day in March 2019. My husband and I planned a small ceremony near her long-term care facility so she could attend.
I started Quilt because I know how hard it is to care for an aging parent, especially when you're balancing your caregiving role with other responsibilities at work and at home.
Before I started Quilt, I worked for a large consumer technology company in the San Francisco Bay Area – and became the primary caregiver for my mother, Carol, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2017.
When I started to care for my mom, I felt isolated and overwhelmed – and I had lots of questions that her doctors couldn't answer. I needed support that was personal, flexible, and consistent, but I never found it. So I started Quilt to offer that support to you.
If you are one of the 34+ million people in the United States who care for an older family member because of an illness, an injury, or old age, I want to help.
I started Quilt to offer a new kind of online support for family caregivers that's inspired by my experience, enabled by technology, and informed by evidence-based caregiver support programs like University of California at San Francisco's Care Ecosystem.
I offer one-hour check-ins via phone or Zoom for $120 per hour, which includes unlimited email support after each conversation. Most people choose to schedule check-ins every two weeks or every month, depending on what makes sense for them and their family.
One-hour, 1:1 phone or video check-in with me and unlimited email support afterward.
Our video check-ins will be time for you to talk openly about your family and your caregiving role. We will identify the personal and practical challenges you're facing, work together on plans to address them, and celebrate the progress you make over time. My goal will always be to meet you where you are.
I will follow up after every check-in with resources, links, and referrals – including to local programs like in-home or day care services and professionals like estate attorneys or patient advocates. I will also be available to you via email after each check-in to answer more questions or do more research.
Use this contact form to tell me about you and your family in a few sentences. I'll follow up with you by email right away to schedule our first 1-hour phone or video check-in.
