For Families
The time you have left with your loved one is for being their child — not their property manager.
If you're the one holding all of this — the appointments, the contractors, the paperwork, the questions nobody else is going to ask — this page is for you. Not because you're doing it badly. Because you're doing it alone, on top of a job and a family and a life that didn't get any smaller when this started.
Vivere manages the ecosystem around your loved one's home: vetting and coordinating the private nurses, therapists, contractors, and household help, then handling the scheduling and the follow-up. You stay informed and in the loop. You stop being the switchboard.
The actual scope
Six categories, and no one warned you about most of them
Most people arrive here thinking the problem is groceries and rides. Then the rest of it surfaces one item at a time, usually at the worst possible moment. Here's the whole picture up front, so nothing lands on you as a surprise.
Estate and legal
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives — and knowing where the signed originals actually live, not just that they exist somewhere.
Insurance and coverage
Medicare versus their own private plan versus whatever your employer might allow, and which combination genuinely covers what your loved one needs at home.
The housing decision
Assisted living or staying home with the right network around them — decided on real numbers, once, rather than relitigated every few months.
Day-to-day logistics
Meals, housekeeping, transportation, prescriptions, home maintenance, and the contractor who has to be met at the door on a Tuesday afternoon.
A life worth living
Not just safety. Routine, company, movement, and something to look forward to — the part that gets dropped first when one person is doing everything.

Dependent status, medical expense deductions, what to document. Almost nobody talks about this, and it's often worth thousands a year.
When you're the only one
Four things worth hearing out loud
There's a lot of eldercare advice written for families with a sibling nearby or a surviving spouse in the house. If neither exists — if you are the whole support system, possibly from a flight away — the advice has to be different, and so does the honesty.
You don't have to know where to start
If the list feels shapeless, that's not a failure of organization on your part. It isn't a small list, nobody hands you a manual for it, and every piece of it arrived while you were already busy. We start by naming the three things costing you the most time this month — and handling those.
Doing it all yourself isn't the same as doing right by them
It usually means doing a little less right by everyone else, including your own family and yourself. Getting help isn't stepping back from your loved one. It's changing what your limited hours get spent on.
This has become a second job
The calls on your commute, the vendor you vetted at eleven at night, the mental tab open all day. Naming it as a second job is accurate, and it's the first step to handing parts of it to someone whose actual job it is — so you can keep doing your real one and stay present for your family.
Their life can be better than you alone can make it
Not a consolation prize — a genuinely better week. Someone in the house regularly, appointments that happen on time, a standing Thursday walk. One person driving in on Saturdays, however devoted, can't produce that. A team can.
What actually comes off your plate
One named concierge, and a written summary you didn't have to chase
- One named person locally who can be at the house on short notice — not a rotating roster, and not a neighbor whose goodwill you're spending.
- Providers already background-checked, license-verified, and insured, so you're not vetting a contractor at eleven at night.
- Appointments booked, driven, and followed up on, during business hours, without a call landing in your workday.
- A single source of truth — physicians, pharmacy, medications, insurance, vendors, and where documents live — maintained for you.
- A short weekly written summary, plus alerts for anything urgent, with your loved one deciding what gets shared.
- A pre-agreed escalation path, so nobody is improvising during the week you can least afford it.
