A check-in on you, not just on them
Family caregivers get sick more, sleep less and burn out quietly. Binda asks how you are doing, privately, once a week — and answers with resources that fit where you actually are. It is not therapy and not a diagnosis. It is a moment that says: you count too.
Three short question sets
How you're feeling this fortnight. The strain of caring. How caring is going for you. Each is a few questions from published, freely licensed instruments, scored on your phone, with a plain-language result — green, yellow, orange or red — and what it tends to mean. A weekly reminder is optional and never nags.
Yours alone
Your answers and results are readable by you and by nobody else — not the care manager, not a doctor, not a respite worker. You can ask your circle for a hand with the specific things you tick, without sharing a score or a word of your answers.
Resources that match
Results come with resources for your situation: respite locators, helplines, community groups, and — if the diagnosis is dementia or Alzheimer's — short, plain guides on what to expect, communication that works, sundowning, wandering, eating, bathing, sleep, when to call the doctor, and looking after yourself. Ready-made daily tasks for that diagnosis can be added with one tap; none are added for you.
When a result is concerning
If a result suggests you might need someone now, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is shown first, every time, above everything else — never behind a tap, never hidden. A trend over several weeks can raise how a result is shown; it never changes what is stored.
The guides are general information for family carers, drawn from published caregiving guidance. The check-in is not a screening tool. Always follow your own clinician, and call 988 or your local emergency number if you are in crisis.
