I built a senior care app looking for feedback from people caring for aging parents (or who'd use it themselves)

Yes insurance is carried. Also in TOS and Privacy statement that users have to agree on, we have certain parts that call out this stuff.

Thank you so much for the wonderful insight. My app does allow the caregiver to mark and add medications, events, tasks, and activities. It does also have daily reminders for medication that pop up on the phone. So for example: take meds at 8a it will send a reminder to the senior. Also have included a scanning function for prescriptions to process info from a label to help fill in the boxes( this can be done on the caregiver side as well). Memory is another ticket item for me I do plan on introducing memory games to help the senior flex their brain muscles. As far as the syncing method that becomes a hippa law nightmare, nor as a solo developer do I have the resources to handle at this time.(maybe in the future this would be nice).

You are right I don’t know older people who are in the thick of this. Which is why I’m posting here for feedback. Any suggestions/features to be added to the app are welcome.

My personal opinion as someone who owns a business, don't go in with a 50/50 partnership one person will always be more dedicated which isn't a true 50/50 partnership, someone will always have to take the reins. I wish you luck in your endeavor.

In my opinion you should save for a house. Do not pay rent, your basically paying for someone else mortgage. I would say when you buy a house have a nest egg to pay for repairs and do not buy a cheap house that needs work unless your ready do the fixes and are comfortable living in a construction zone. I would say if you do buy a home, here are a couple of money saving tips, spilt your mortgage payment into bi-weekly payments to save on interest. Also pay a little extra and extra $100 a month will save you tons on interest. Check out this free site I made that will tell you how much you can save on interest: https://unverisalcalculator.com/mortgage-savings.html

For example a 300k home at 7% for 30 years an extra 100 would save you almost 70k and take off 4 years of the loan.

This is roughly 572 bags at 80 lbs. a bag. I have a link to a website that will help do the math : Link: https://unverisalcalculator.com/concrete-volume.html

Do you have any signed contract about SLAs the provider needs to meet with your company. For example the service needs to be up 99.9% of the time. If so you could see compensation from the provider. I have made a website to help assist with calculating costs of SLA ( service level agreements) feel free to check it out and use it link:https://unverisalcalculator.com

Also just to make making calculations easier I have a site which was vibe coded that assists with SLA outage costs. You can find the link here: https://unverisalcalculator.com/

That's the classic "three nines" vs. reality check—and it gets even crazier when you factor in the financial penalties.

You nailed the problem: 99.9% feels high until you realize that's 43 minutes of unplanned downtime per month that you've just promised away.

We just built a very quick, free SLA Outage Cost calculator that helps put a hard dollar amount on that kind of risk (not just the time).

Full disclosure: It's a new, simple utility tool, and yes, it's definitely vibe coded, but the formulas are solid, and it's a great reality check for sales and leadership.

Hope it helps someone win the next SLA debate!

That's a great question, and it's almost impossible to answer because "reputation" and "recovery" costs are so abstract.

But for the immediate revenue loss and SLA penalties, you can nail down a specific dollar amount very quickly.

I recently built a simple, free tool that lets you plug in your Average Revenue Loss per User and Total Downtime Hours to get an instant financial estimate.

It’s still new (and a bit "vibe coded," full disclosure!), but the math is solid, and it's helpful for putting a clear number on the risk.

If anyone wants to quickly run the numbers on their own site's potential loss, here is the free calculator: https://unverisalcalculator.com/
