A Caregiver’s Story
My mom is 85 and living independently, but the small things piled up — the missed pills, the days she barely drinks water, the moods that shift like weather.

For Caregivers
Caregiving is hard — don’t go it alone
Caregiving journeys often come with relentless needs, difficult decisions, isolation, guilt, and fear – alongside satisfaction, joy, and unconditional love. The Maia Care platform was built by caregivers, for caregivers.

When to start
The right time is usually earlier than you think
1
You’ve noticed changes
A fall, forgetfulness, or a change in mood or routine is often the first signal worth tracking.
2
A new diagnosis
New conditions bring new care plans and therapies — usually requiring more communication and coordination.
3
Planning ahead
Even before a crisis, getting the care circle and documentation in place makes everything else easier.
4
After a hospital discharge
Recovery at home is when coordination between family, aides, and providers matters most.

FAQs
Are there any apps just for caregivers?
Most caregiver software is built for companies, not caregivers. The Maia app was designed by caregivers for caregivers. Anyone can join a Care Circle and securely communicate, collaborate, identify risks, and take action to improve aging-in-place journeys and ease the stress of being a caregiver.
Why do I need an app when I can just text and use AI?
Keeping track of care events and making important decisions requires information you can trust and a secured share space where people can communicate and collaborate efficiently. Scattered group text message threads, multiple calendars, and random search results do not provide shared data that can be analyzed by AI and used to make caregivers more effective and efficient.
What is a Care Circle?
A Care Circle is the collection of all people involved in the care of an older adult. Any user can join the Care Circle of an older adult, if invited by the older adult or the primary caregiver of that Circle. Users can be daily caregivers, remote family members who want to stay in touch, or Care Managers at a health plan, healthcare provider, or community organization. All data is secure and users can control who sees what information.
How can Maia help minimize caregiver burnout?
Caring for an older adult is one of the most satisfying, yet stressful things many of us will ever do. Well-understood guidance includes:
- Take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally
- Stay connected and informed
- Ask for help
We also need to become more efficient. The Maia app uses data and communication to help caregivers collaborate more efficiently and make better decisions for older adults.
Does Maia provide a summary of care over time?
Yes. Maia can provide a Snapshot of care, from both paid and family caregivers, for any period of time. For instance, a 24-hour detailed view is invaluable when starting a shift; and similarly, a 6-month care log in preparation for an appointment with a Primary Care Physician or Urgent Care visit. A Care Snapshot can contain all data associated with an older adult, ranging from care events and observations to clinical notes and care plans.
What sort of questions can I ask Maia?
Maia was designed with the help of hundreds of experienced caregivers. Maia Care did extensive research to discover the wide range of health, caregiving, safety, social, legal, and financial challenges encountered by caregivers on an aging-in-place journey. Maia can provide guidance and insights around virtually any challenge you may encounter.
How can a caregiver get started with Maia?
The Maia app is available to groups that have a relationship with Maia Care, but we want everyone to be able to use the app. If you are not yet a member of a group and do not have a group code, please contact us and tell us about your situation.
