Coordinating conflicting family member schedules for elderly parent care

Families with aging parents struggle to coordinate informal elder care duties across siblings with different schedules and locations. Spreadsheets and group texts fail to prevent missed days or duplicate assignments. Existing elder care platforms focus on hiring professional caregivers, not organizing unpaid family contributions like meal prep, doctor visits, and companionship.
