Common questions

FeatherKeep tracks every medication, dosage, and refill date in one place — and alerts you before they run out, timed to your local GP wait times so you're never caught short.

At minimum: a list of current medications, your Power of Attorney, their health card or insurance details, and a list of their doctors. FeatherKeep stores all of this in a shareable emergency profile — accessible from any phone, no login needed.

More than most caregivers realize. Medical trips, home health aide costs, prescriptions, and medical equipment can all qualify. In the US, medical expenses exceeding 7.5% of your AGI are deductible on Schedule A. In Canada, the Medical Expense Tax Credit and Disability Tax Credit both apply. FeatherKeep logs every expense against your country's rules automatically.

Most caregivers miss at least one program they qualify for. In the US this includes the Dependent Care FSA (now $7,500 in 2026) and IRS Schedule A deductions. In Canada: the METC, DTC, and provincial caregiver credits. FeatherKeep shows you what's available based on your situation — in real time.

The hardest part is making the invisible work visible. FeatherKeep lets you share a care summary with family members so they can see exactly what's being done — and take on specific tasks. The sibling contribution ledger shows who is doing what.

Caregiver burnout is real and it's common — you are not failing. The first step is getting the logistics off your mental plate so you can breathe. FeatherKeep carries the organizational load — medications, appointments, documents, expenses — so your brain doesn't have to hold it all. You matter in this too, not just as a caregiver but as a person.

Yes. The Essentials plan is free forever and includes an emergency profile, 3 documents, and 3 contacts — no credit card needed. Paid plans start at $19.99/month with a free 7-day trial.

Almost every family caregiver asks this. The answer is almost always yes — you are doing more than you realize, and more than most people ever would. The guilt you feel is actually a sign of how much you care. FeatherKeep helps by making the invisible work visible — so you can see, and show others, exactly what is being done every day.

Because caregiving is genuinely one of the hardest things a person can do — especially alone. You are managing medications, appointments, documents, finances, and emotions all at once, often while working and running your own life. That's not weakness. That's an impossible load. FeatherKeep takes the organizational weight off your mind so you have a little more left for everything else.

The hardest part is that the work is invisible to people who aren't doing it. FeatherKeep's monthly care summary lets you share a clear picture of everything that's happening — medications, appointments, expenses, tasks — so family members can see what's needed and step in for specific things. You can't force help, but you can make it impossible to pretend the need isn't there.

Completely normal. Every caregiver feels it. Feeling frustrated doesn't mean you love your parent less — it means you're human and you're carrying too much. You matter in this situation too, not just as a caregiver but as a person.

When you notice your own health — physical or mental — starting to suffer. When you're missing things because you're overwhelmed. When you feel like you can't keep track of everything. These are signs you need support, not signs you've failed. FeatherKeep can't replace human help, but it can reduce the mental load enough to help you think clearly about next steps.

Having information ready before an emergency is everything. FeatherKeep's emergency profile stores your parent's medications, conditions, doctors, and contacts in one place — shareable from any phone, no login needed. If your parent is rushed to hospital, you can hand a paramedic everything they need in seconds.
