The problem

The day your parent starts needing help, your family becomes a small healthcare operation — with no manager, no system, and no training.

The medication list is in a kitchen drawer. The cardiologist's instructions are in one sibling's memory. The aide's schedule is on a paper calendar taped to the fridge. And the group text can announce that something changed — but three weeks later, it can't tell you what the current plan actually is.

So one person becomes the default coordinator. They carry everything, quietly. Everyone else asks "how can I help?" and never quite finds out. MayLou exists so that no one in your family has to be the filing cabinet.

On the fridgeRosa comes M/W/F... or was it changed to Tuesdays after the fall?
In someone's memoryDr. Patel said to stop the aspirin before the procedure. Which procedure?

In MayLouAll of it. Current, in one place, visible to everyone who needs it.
What's inside

Everything your family keeps asking each other, answered once.

The medication list

Snap a photo of the pill bottles — MayLou builds the always-current list with refill reminders and change history.

Tasks with names on them

"Who's taking Dad on Thursday" gets assigned, seen, and done. Everyone's contribution is visible.

The care journal

Small notes become a shared record your whole family — and her doctors — can rely on.

"For two years I was the only one who knew everything — every pill, every appointment, every doctor's name. Now it's written down where my brothers can see it. I didn't realize how heavy that was until I put it down." — Early MayLou family, coordinating care for their mother in Ohio
