Closeli. Be there, from anywhere.
Vetted college students visit your parents at home. You stay informed, wherever you are.
ID checked, college confirmed, police clearance, references called, interviewed in person. All before anyone visits.
Priya checked in. She and Mr. Rao are on their evening walk, arguing happily about yesterday's cricket.
Amma laughed a lot this week. She taught Priya how to make proper filter coffee, and asked when you're calling next.
Who this is for
You already know if this is you.
You're in a different city
Your parents are home. You're not. A call isn't the same as being there.
You can't always make it
Even if you're an hour away, some days you just can't. Now someone can.
You want more than check-ins
Your mother needs company, not just medical attention. Someone to talk to, cook with, laugh with.
How it works
Three steps, and then it simply happens.
Setting it up takes one evening. After that the visits arrive on a schedule and so do the letters.
- 1
Tell us about your parent
Name, city, interests, languages, any health or mobility notes. A photo helps your companion recognize them. Takes three minutes, stored securely, shared only with their matched companion.
- 2
We match a vetted companion
Under 21, same language, same area. ID checked, college confirmed, police clearance, references called, interviewed in person — every time.
- 3
They visit. You receive a letter from home
OTP check-in. Session tracked. The companion writes, your parent shares, and you receive both.
The letter from home
Every visit comes back to you in two voices.
One from the companion who was there. One from your parent. You get both, the same evening.
Kamala aunty taught me to make filter coffee today. She laughed when I got it wrong the first time.
Priya and I made filter coffee together this afternoon and laughed so much, I still feel light and happy.
After every session. Before you sleep.
