tendercare Launches Revolutionary Android App
In a significant development for family caregivers,
tendercare, the innovative technology platform dedicated to enhancing the experience of caring for aging loved ones, has officially launched its Android app. This new addition aims to facilitate collaboration among family members as they navigate the complexities of caregiving, regardless of the devices they use.
Bridging the Gap in Family Caregiving
tendercare's Android app rollout comes at a crucial time, with
over 63 million adults in the U.S. currently involved in providing care for aging parents, spouses with chronic health conditions, or adult children with disabilities. This represents a staggering
45% increase since 2015. According to recent findings from the
2025 AARP Caregiving in the U.S. report, most caregivers don't operate alone—they are often part of a network of siblings, spouses, and adult children, indicating a clear need for tools that allow every family member to collaborate, no matter what device they use.
The new app has been described as a game changer, answering calls from tendercare users for
cross-platform functionality. Until now, many families found themselves divided by their choice of technology, where one member using an Android device could not fully engage with those on iPhones. With this launch, tendercare is eliminating that barrier, promoting inclusivity and increasing the number of caregivers who can effectively use the app's features.
Key Features of the Android App
tendercare's Android app provides a comprehensive suite of caregiving tools designed to simplify family coordination amidst their busy lives. Some of the core features include:
- - Vault: A secure area dedicated to storing and sharing vital information regarding a loved one’s care.
- - Tasks: A collaborative platform for organizing to-dos and reminders that keep everyone in the loop.
- - Care Plans: Customized guides providing step-by-step information tailored to individual caregiver needs.
- - Trusted Network: Access to vetted local eldercare services, ensuring families find the right support when they need it.
A Future Where Families Thrive Together
The launch has been heralded as a major moment for family caregiving by tendercare's founder and CEO,
Shauna Sweeney. She shared, “This is not just about but making sure families can truly work together, but about building a platform that meets the needs of real families.” Through the Android app, over
150 million users in the U.S. will now be able to engage across platforms, removing tech barriers that hinder many families from collaborating effectively.
Sweeney's vision was born out of personal experience. As a long-distance caregiver for her father suffering from Alzheimer’s, she understood the challenges firsthand, leading her to create tendercare—a platform designed to decrease the overwhelming tasks associated with caregiving and instead foster meaningful interactions among family members.
How to Access the New App
The tendercare Android app is now available for download on the
Google Play Store, making it easy for families to start using it immediately. Previous iOS users can also connect with their Android family members seamlessly, promoting a united approach to caregiving. The app remains free to download and use, with optional paid upgrades available for broader functionalities, such as AI-powered features and printable emergency cards.
