takefive.care
An AI care agent that lives in your family's group chat, answering questions, tracking medications, and sending a weekly digest that keeps everyone in the loop. No new app: family stays in the chat they already use, and caregivers just text a number.

How it works
No apps. No training. Just a phone number and a calm presence holding everything together.
However it comes in, it lands in one record that T5 reads, searches, and summarizes.
Invite family, caregivers, and friends. Each person sees what fits their role.
Aides and nurses text a Take Five number after each visit. They never join the family chat.
A warm weekly email from Take Five. They just hit reply.
T5 reads every update, keeps the record current, and flags what matters early.
What happened, what to watch, and what needs a decision. No one writes it by hand.
Before each visit, T5 gathers what the family noticed, and who noticed it when.
See who's showing up, so no one carries it alone.
Where the will is, and who has power of attorney.
One question a week, building their life in their own words.
One shared picture for the hardest choices.

The knowledgebase
Everything shared lands in one care record, not buried in scroll. Ask T5 and it answers from the full history.
No digging through old messages. No calling the sibling who "keeps track of everything."
The weekly digest
Every week T5 sums up what happened, how they're doing, and what needs a decision. Mike, two states away, reads it over coffee and finally feels in the loop.
It also spots patterns: the reading streak, the uptick in good days, the fall that got mentioned twice.
Kate — Tuesday and Saturday. Janet — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Mike called Sunday. Kate is going with Frank to his checkup on the 14th.
Frank — good spirits, walking in the city park three times this week. Mentioned feeling lightheaded when standing up quickly. Barbara — steady week. Knee a little stiff Thursday, but she says it's nothing.
Frank and Barbara spent Thursday at the pond feeding the ducks — "until they got pushy," in Frank's words. Barbara finished another mystery novel. Mike's Sunday call ran long; both said it was the best part of their week.
Kate noticed Frank unsteady on the back porch stairs — worth raising at his checkup. Lisinopril dose doesn't match between the pharmacy label and the medication list; confirm before the 14th. Janet's Friday visit isn't confirmed yet.

Signal detection
T5 watches every update for falls, recurring symptoms, missed check-ins, and medication gaps, and quietly confirms what it catches so the family hears early.
A detail mentioned once, in passing, still carries into the next digest and appointment prep.
The Life Log
Most care apps track what's wrong. Take Five tracks what's alive, because staying engaged is one of the strongest protections against cognitive decline.
Currently reading, just finished, loved or didn't — the reading life tracked naturally through caregiver check-ins.
What she's watching, what made her laugh — so the next caregiver already has something to talk about.
Walks, garden time, phone calls with grandkids. Small signals of vitality — and early warnings when they stop.
A simple daily signal, one tap from the caregiver.
Appointment prep
Before each visit, T5 gathers what the family has noticed since the last one, who noticed it, and any medication questions. Nothing to scramble for in the waiting room.
Anyone in the circle can add a question by replying in the chat.
Their voice
Frank and Barbara aren't in the family chat. Each week Take Five emails them, and they just hit reply.
Their words flow into the record, the digest, and appointment prep.
Went three times this week. Barbara came along Thursday and we sat by the pond and fed the ducks until they got pushy. Her knee's been a little stiff but she says it's nothing. I'll let the kids know if that changes.
From a long-term care leader
“Families speak in stories, observations, and concerns, while healthcare providers think in patterns and clinical relevance. Watching Take Five bridge those two worlds without losing the family’s voice was impressive.”
— Licensed Nursing Facility Administrator · Vice Chair, a statewide long-term care association
Built on dignity
A brother-in-law who checks in on weekends. A neighbor of twenty years. You don't have to run things to belong, and whatever you can give counts.
Mom and Dad get a warm weekly email and reply in their own words. They're part of the conversation, not just the subject of it.
This isn't about watching anyone, or being watched. It's a shared, honest picture, nothing more.
Everyone gets a view that fits their role. Extended family get a digest without the medical details.
Text messaging first: no app to download, no training. Works for the 78-year-old aide who only texts and the 45-year-old daughter who uses everything.
“Dignity is the difference between being cared for and being managed.”— Eric Landry, Founder
The origin story
Take Five came from lived experience: five siblings coordinating care for aging parents, with scattered texts, missed handoffs, and one person carrying too much.
“We built what we needed. We named it after what made it matter: the five of us, showing up.”
— Eric Landry, Founder & #3
Every family has their number — the people who showed up when it mattered. Take Five is built for all of them.
