about sandwych
We’ve been where you are.
Sandwych was created to bridge the care gap from physician and pharmacy instruction to patient and care partner adherence through a digitally enabled care app. In our own care journey we found that to be strong advocates, we needed the information "at the ready" in real-time for multiple providers. Bringing in a binder with our prior treatments slowed down the process Transferring records in advance rarely made it in time for a review prior to appointments Managing care didn't transfer well to everyday support that is trackable. Our providers and health plans were just as frustrated with low engagement.
why we do it
We created Sandwych for our loved ones
80-90% of us will need over 4.5 years of caregiving. Currently families spend over $7,000 in out-of-pocket expenses annually, in addition to caregiving. Work and family schedules are severely altered, and exhaustion for those in the sandwich generation is at an all-time high. And yet, most families ignore preparing in advance because it’s sad and we’d rather avoid it. Frankly, we’re overwhelmed and exhausted! But in reality, planning gives us an opportunity to live, to embrace, and to honor our loved ones.
We want you as caregivers to be prepared, empowered and to have peace of mind. We want our parents to feel empowered and honored. We want families to enjoy all the moments we get with each other, even the hard parts. We’re here to help you and your family whether you’re planning ahead or find yourself in the middle of it right now. Let’s do it together!
