Membership Plans
Fit your needs — and your budget
No contract. Cancel anytime. Change plans with no penalty.
Our membership plans are flexible, starting at $25 per week and ranging up to $395 per month, depending on how much support the senior needs.
- Choose Flexible Pay-As-You-Go for occasional check-ins, care guidance, or advocacy support when ongoing services are not necessary
- Select a Standard Weekly or Monthly Plan for ongoing support, care reviews, and follow-ups to ensure the senior’s needs are met with continuity and attention
- Or upgrade to Prime Membership for more frequent monitoring, personalized advocacy, and comprehensive support tailored to seniors with greater or more urgent needs
On a fixed income or facing financial hardship does not mean going without care, protection, or support. We designed our plans to be affordable, but we also know that not every senior can pay right away. If a senior is barely making ends meet or managing day-to-day on a limited income, ask us about our Charity Plan — or simply reach out. We will walk through the options with care and without judgment.

- In need of monitoring, support, or protection related to daily care

Common Questions / Care Plans
- How many hours of care does the plan include each month?
The Care Plan offers flexible hours depending on the senior’s needs, typically ranging from 2 to 8 hours monthly for check-ins and coordination. - Can I add extra services if needed?
Yes. Services outside the Care Plan or standard add-ons are available as one-time or premium support, priced individually. Ongoing extras typically fall under $10–$15 monthly add-ons, while specialized help like transition care or end-of-life advocacy are flat-rate fees ranging from $75-$150. - How often will a Care Advocate contact the senior?
Check-ins occur weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly based on risk level and individual needs. - Does the Care Plan replace medical or nursing care?
No. We advocate for better medical care, but the plan does not include medical treatments or medication administration. It complements medical services by adding oversight, reminders, and support. - Are family members kept informed about their loved ones care?
Yes, with permission, we provide regular updates to family or caregivers involved in the senior’s life. - How do you handle urgent issues or emergencies?
Urgent concerns are escalated immediately to emergency services or appropriate authorities to keep the senior safe. - Do Care Advocates provide hands-on work or only oversight or coordinate services?
We do both. For example, we might personally visit a senior to assess their living conditions and remind them to take medications, as well as arrange for a trusted handyman to fix a broken appliance.

Charity does not mean less care
Some seniors do not just need help—they need someone who will not look away. They need someone who will not look away. The Charity Plan exists for older adults who are struggling without access, support, or resources. Some cannot afford services. Others do not know where to turn. Many have no one left to speak up for them.
This plan steps in when systems fall short. It offers critical care, protection, and advocacy at no cost to the senior. Funded by donations and powered by compassion, the Charity Plan ensures that no senior faces mistreatment, neglect, or fraud alone.
