Welcome.
The Care Company is the solution center for America’s 60 million unpaid family caregivers, who every year provide more than $300 billion in free care and services to loved ones, family members and friends.
The Care Company was born of the realization that, while a multitude of caregiving information is available from a wide range of sources, few people know how to manage elder care or end-of-life issues. Typically, they enter the caregiving process without knowledge and proceed without guidance or support. They suffer. Their loved ones suffer. Their lives suffer.
The Care Company’s mission is to create a nation of Empowered Caregivers, people in service who are knowledgeable, savvy, confident, strong, compassionate and healthy. People who are able to care for their loved ones while maintaining the balance in their lives. People who accept the responsibility of caregiving and seize the opportunity that comes with it.
We at The Care Company have walked in your shoes. We have cared for elderly loved ones. We started out knowing little and experienced our share of frustrations and obstacles. But we learned and gained power as we went. Now we are dedicated to helping you become an Empowered Caregiver, by providing you with the knowledge you need to navigate the caregiving journey with skill and grace.
The Care Company is dedicated to providing you with simple, straightforward, compassionate solutions to your caregiving challenges. And that includes, giving you “permission” to care for yourself in the bargain. The Care Company is your point of contact, your landing place, a safe haven that will give you peace of mind, a destination to empower you and provide you with the tools to manage not just someone else’s life, but your own life, too.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of caregiving information. But until now, no one has been providing a road map for caregivers to use in navigating the journey. The Care Company does.
The Care Company is dedicated to:
- Creating a community of Empowered Caregivers.
- Standing as a powerful silent partner beside each family caregiver.
- Providing compassionate, patient, understanding support for America’s family caregivers at every step of their caregiving journey.
- Working with caregivers to understand the challenges they face and help them find harmonious solutions.
- Ensuring that caregivers feel supported and understood, by providing a face and voice for them to connect with.
- Elevating family caregivers to the standing of angels to be valued and honored for their service.
Care Company founder and President Cindy Laverty discovered that empowering caregivers was her true professional calling several years ago, while caring for her ill and aging former father-in-law. It wasn’t easy. Thrown into caregiving unsuspectingly, Cindy learned to navigate the complex caregiver landscape, which includes hospitals, doctors, bureaucracies, insurance forms, prescription drugs and more. Through that journey, she discovered how she could not only survive, but thrive amid the challenges. She decided to share what she knew.
Today, Cindy is a nationally recognized caregiving expert, speaker, senior-care commentator and author, and the host of the radio talk program “The Cindy Laverty Show” which can be heard every Friday at 10AM PST on CRN Digital Talk Radio (CRN1).
“I am passionate about empowering caregivers in their role,” Cindy says. “When caregiving was thrust upon me, I was unprepared and had to reinvent the wheel at every turn. There was no roadmap; now I have one, and I want to share it to create a nation of Empowered Caregivers, whose journey will be easier than mine and every bit as rewarding.”

I believe…
- that we are all interconnected and that we have a genuine responsibility to step outside of our comfort zone and see what’s happening around us.
- that we have a responsibility to care for ourselves so we can better care for each other.
- that taking personal responsibility for our lives is the first step to living the life we deserve.
- that when we pay attention to our instincts we usually make the best decisions.
- that at the end of the day, we all want to be remembered with a smile.
