We’re dedicated to helping Americans age sustainably and with dignity.
Our Mission is to Change the Lives of Caregivers
Nine in ten Americans want to age in place at home, yet every family caregiver feels like they are on the journey alone, constantly facing new challenges. With Kintently, we’re building a community of Caregivers who can help each other with ideas, tips, and support. You are not on this journey alone.

The Growing Caregiving Crisis
“While family caregiving can be rewarding and personally satisfying, it often comes at a significant personal cost to the caregiver (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2016). However, those costs—financial, physical, and emotional—incurred by family caregivers are hard to measure.
As a result, our knowledge about the impact of family caregiving is limited to selected outcomes like social isolation, loneliness, stress, depression, and quality of life. We know that family caregivers suffer from higher rates of depression than non-caregivers of the same age, and research indicates that family caregivers suffer a mortality rate that is 63 percent higher than non-caregivers (Schulz & Beach, 1999).”
