Caring for an adult with a mental disability is a journey shaped by love, resilience, and the need for tools that nurture autonomy while reinforcing safety. Mental disabilities encompass a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and developmental conditions—each with unique caregiving needs. At SimpliTend, we recognize that no single technology fits every situation. Our mission is to support caregivers and care recipients where meaningful connection, structure, and peace of mind intersect.


🧠 Understanding the Spectrum

Mental disability includes conditions such as:

  • Intellectual disabilities

  • Autism spectrum disorders

  • Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

  • Cognitive impairments due to aging or brain injury


Many adults with these diagnoses navigate life with varying degrees of independence. SimpliTend is designed to assist those with mild to moderate mental disabilities who benefit from routine, structure, and caregiver oversight—while still engaging with smartphones and participating in daily activities.


🔧 How SimpliTend Empowers Everyday Life

SimpliTend offers tools that support safety, routine, and emotional connection without compromising dignity:

📍 Real-Time Location & Geofencing – Caregivers are alerted when a loved one enters or exits designated safe zones—ideal for those at risk of wandering.

📵 Scam Call & App Blocking – Protects users from unwanted calls and harmful app content by allowing caregivers to manage digital safety.

💊 Medication & Routine Reminders – Ensures consistency with reminders for meds, exercise, meals, and personalized tasks.

🚨 SOS Button for Emergencies – Dials 911 and instantly alerts caregivers

🍽️ Missed Meal Alerts – Gentle nudges help reinforce healthy eating patterns.

🔋 Low Battery Notifications – Caregivers receive alerts when the user’s phone is running low, keeping lines of communication open.

🧭 Preprogrammed Directions Home – One tap activates walking directions home and caregiver notifications—critical for moments of disorientation.

🔄 Remote Profile Management & Temporary Caregiver Delegation – Flexibly adapts to real-world caregiving, allowing family networks to support care together.

SimpliTend features to help family caregivers

These features are not scattered across multiple tools—they are unified in one intuitive platform built for caregivers by caregivers.


💡 Why SimpliTend Stands Apart

SimpliTend is not just an app—it is a caregiving companion born from lived experience. It is the most comprehensive caregiving technology available for adults with mental disabilities who maintain partial independence.


What makes SimpliTend different?

  • Designed by caregivers, for caregivers. The platform reflects real-world caregiving, emotional intelligence, and deep empathy—not just generic tech solutions.

  • Caregiver-managed safety tools. From scam-blocking to geofencing, SimpliTend provides security without eroding autonomy.

  • Intuitive design for cognitive challenges. A simplified interface empowers users to engage confidently with daily routines.


SimpliTend is not just the most complete tool on the market—it is the one that listens to what caregivers actually need.


🤝 Honoring Individual Needs

SimpliTend is not intended for individuals with:

  • Severe cognitive impairment or nonverbal communication

  • High-risk psychiatric conditions needing clinical supervision.

  • Situations where smartphone use is unsafe or not feasible.


But for families supporting adults who maintain some independence—and benefit from structure, simplicity, and digital safety—SimpliTend offers powerful support wrapped in compassion.


“Technology should never replace human connection—it should strengthen it. SimpliTend is built to simplify routines while preserving dignity and autonomy for every person it touches.”
