What We Do

Helping Families Care—Together

One in four American adults is now a family caregiver. Yet too many are navigating complex care needs alone.

The National Association of Community Aging Circles (NACAC) empowers families and communities with the tools, support, and connections needed to help older and vulnerable individuals age safely at home—while staying connected to the people who matter most.

Because care works best when it’s shared.

Caregiving Shouldn’t Feel This Overwhelming

Families today are taking on more responsibility than ever—often without guidance, coordination, or support.

  • Caregivers face stress, health risks, and financial strain
  • Services are fragmented and difficult to manage
  • Communication between caregivers and providers is often unclear
  • Many older adults face avoidable hospitalisations or loss of independence

As traditional long-term care options decline, communities must step in.

"I started using the Jointly app last year as I thought it was a great tool and solution for the poor communication between the care staff and us for my son's supported living. It was a struggle to convince the care staff and managers to take up the app. But once I convinced a care staff to join the circle, they took it on and can see the positives of transparent communication. I just wanted to let you know we think it's a great app."

A Smarter Way to Care—Through Community

NACAC partners with community organizations to help families coordinate care in a simple, structured way.

We provide:

  • Practical tools to organize care at home
  • Training and guidance for families and community leaders
  • Technology that connects everyone involved in care
  • A model that strengthens community-based support systems

Our goal is simple:
Help individuals remain safely at home, supported by a connected circle of care.

How It Works

Build a “Circle of Care” Around Every Individual

At the heart of our model is the Circle of Care—a coordinated network of people and services supporting one individual.

Step 1: Connect

We partner with community organizations to identify and support families in need.

Step 2: Organize

Families create a personalized care circle that may include: Family members Friends and neighbours Healthcare providers Community services (e.g. meals, transport, home aides)

Step 3: Coordinate

Using easy-to-use digital tools, everyone in the circle can: Communicate in one place Track care tasks and responsibilities Share updates in real time

Step 4: Support

NACAC provides training, resources, and ongoing guidance to ensure families feel confident and supported.
