the whole area of senior care needs to be disrupted. this is a request for a gazillion products. i spend ~50% of my monthly income caring for my parents, and almost every service is below par or just a scam. there’s a huge opportunity to be leveraged here.

a special market target - high earning non-us citizens who permanently reside here but can’t claim dependencies on their taxes nor get their parents insurance when they’re here. to put in context, visiting home care for us can be $600 *a day* and it’s shoddy.

there’s an entire cottage industry that preys on vulnerable older people. the bar to building good products here is much lower than you think. and for people who want to keep their parents at home, we’ll pay almost anything.

should add, i am v lucky to have a job where i can work from home if i have to, make enough to support them *and* am young enough to have no other large responsibilities (kids, my own health issues) that i can handle it. there are people out there who must be really suffering.

Why isn’t there an international family insurance plan for employers to offer that hire many 1st gen immigrants? Often the only high earner in family, and these costs aren’t tax deductible. Could be offered as a perk for large cos to hire the best foreign talent...
