Inspired by My Momma and Nanna

From My Family to Yours

RootedCare+ was born from personal experience—one shaped by love, exhaustion, and the ongoing challenges of caregiving.When my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia, everything shifted. I watched my mom, her daughter, step into the role of full-time caregiver with no roadmap, limited support, and a thousand invisible decisions to make each day.The emotional toll is real. The financial strain is constant. And while there are moments of connection and grace, there are also moments of feeling overwhelmed, grief-stricken, and frustrated.We didn’t need another website to scroll through. We needed guidance. We didn’t need judgment, we needed relief. Something simple. Something compassionate. Something immediate.RootedCare+ is the tool I wish we had: a supportive, text-based platform designed for caregivers navigating impossible situations—sometimes with strength and grace, and sometimes with tears and uncertainty. Whether you need emotional support, help with resources, or a small microgrant to get through the week, RootedCare+ is here to meet you, right when you need it.—Tara, Founder & Family Caregiver
