Once upon a time, an 80-year-old volunteer caregiver had a hard time understanding seniors to provide quality care. Regardless, she relentlessly tried. Over time, her volunteer caregiving legacy passed on to her grandson. Her grandson experienced the same thing. “Why is it so difficult to understand seniors without bugging everyone involved in care?” he wondered. He brought it up to his pals. “We should start a company to tell seniors’ stories,” said one. “We should enable everyone to contribute to seniors’ stories,” said another. “We should allow everyone to instantly access seniors’ stories,” said a third. Viola! CareStory was born.
