Sandwich is the platform for the sandwich generation — adults caring for aging parents and raising kids. Logos, founder bios, data, screenshots, and press contact.
One-paragraph description
Sandwich is the platform for the sandwich generation — the 11 million Americans caring for an aging parent while raising kids. Sandwich helps families coordinate eldercare, organize what their parents need, and pay for it without burning out, and also exposes a public care directory and HIPAA-grade family workspace as agent-callable tools so AI assistants like Claude and Cursor can answer real questions about Medicare, Medicaid, and the cost of long-term care in any U.S. state.

Talking points
If you're writing about caregiving, eldercare cost inflation, or AI-assisted care planning, these are the angles we have data and quotes for.
The 40-70 Rule
When you turn 40, or your parents turn 70, it's time to start the conversation about Medicare, power of attorney, advance directives, and long-term-care plans. Sandwich is built around making that first conversation tractable.
AI agents for caregiving
Sandwich was one of the first care platforms to publish an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI assistants like Claude and Cursor can answer factual questions about Medicare, Medicaid, and the cost of long-term care.
HIPAA-grade family workspace
Adult children coordinating care for a parent need a HIPAA-aware shared space — Sandwich provides one, with per-user OAuth scopes for AI delegation and an append-only audit log.
Cost-of-care transparency
Sandwich's calculator projects total care costs by U.S. state, care type (home care, adult day, assisted living, nursing home), duration (1–30 years), and custom inflation assumptions — backed by the CareScout 2025 dataset.
