Beginning next week, we will be telling the story of "Aging in America"—a video series capturing real stories from everyday Americans navigating the aging journey.

With 1 in 5 Americans serving as caregivers today, these stories are common but often remain untold.

America’s aging care system is broken - We’re in trouble, but there is hope

Millions of Americans, particularly those who have a health crisis, NEED help but can’t pay for care out of pocket:

Caregiving can sometimes feel isolating and complex. That's why we're launching our Caregiver Community Forum.

• Ask questions and get answers
• Share experiences
• Connect with fellow caregivers

We all need a bit of love and connection in our life.

In about a week, we will release a product that brings love and life into senior care.

Stay tuned.

[oleracare @oleracare]

And for this, we need your help.

We're looking for:

- Caregivers to share their experiences
- Social media experts, marketing experts, and video producers
- Community champions to organize events involving older adults
- Senior care experts to tackle industry challenges

We are excited to share that we have received a $3 million NIH grant to build AI-driven solutions that make senior care more affordable and accessible.

Senior care is confusing and too expensive for most Americans.

And we have a plan to fix this🧵👇

[oleracare @oleracare]

At Olera, we are taking these challenges head on.

Fixing these issues in senior care will involve novel technology approaches, building a supportive community of caregivers and care receivers, and a deep understanding of the inner workings of senior care.

[oleracare @oleracare]

Nearly half of those aged 55-66 have no retirement savings.

Meanwhile, home care costs average $62,000 a year. And 7 out of 10 people will need long-term care at some point. Clearly, we have a problem on our hands.

[oleracare @oleracare]

Big news coming next week!

We have been working on something that could change the game for senior care.

Stay tuned :)

Crazy fact: Only 0.7% of startups get VC funding. It's tough out there.

We raised $5M+ through grants instead. There are other paths - don't get stuck on the VC treadmill.

“It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.”

- Margaret Mead

[oleracare @oleracare]

America faces a caregiving crisis - senior care often unaffordable & confusing.

To address this we conducting the #CARESStudy

Mission:
✅ Understand top #caregiver needs
✅ Build accessible guide system
✅ Evaluate using evidence

[oleracare @oleracare]

Avg annual home care cost: 62K Avg retiree income: 20K

Most can't afford these prices, yet $30B in aid goes unclaimed yearly.

@oleracare is leveraging #AI to bridge this gap.

We're building this now. Stay tuned.
