One shared calendar so everyone knows who's covering when
When several people help care for a parent, the calendar is where things fall through the cracks — two siblings think the other is taking Dad to the doctor, or nobody does. Elderoak puts one shared care calendar in front of the whole family, so every appointment, medication time and visit is visible and assigned.

How it works
- 1Add appointments, medication times and visits to the shared family calendar — each one tagged with the person it's for and who's covering it.
- 2Everyone in the family group sees the same calendar in real time, so there's no guessing who's taking Mom on Tuesday.
- 3Reminders go to whoever's assigned, and anyone can pick up an open day — so a gap in coverage is obvious before it becomes a missed dose or a missed appointment.
Common questions
How is this different from a Google Calendar we all share?
A generic calendar shows events but not care context. Elderoak ties each item to the parent and the caregiver covering it, links medications and appointments to that person, and surfaces gaps and refills — so it's a care plan the family acts on, not just a list of dates.
Can my siblings and I all see and edit the same schedule?
Yes. Everyone in the family group shares one calendar; anyone can add a visit, claim an open day, or see who's already covering it — no group texts to sort out who's doing what.
Does it remind the right person?
Reminders go to the family member assigned to that appointment or dose, and the whole group can see when something is unclaimed so it doesn't slip through.
