Wellnior™ connects seniors receiving home care and parents of special needs children with peer support, practical wisdom, and a collective voice in the systems that shape their care.
For the people receiving and coordinating care — not just the agencies and payers around it.
Real connection with people who understand, and a collective voice for better care.
Shared experience that drives accountability across agencies, payers, and policy.
Home care has technology for schedulers, billing departments, and compliance officers. But who builds community for the senior receiving care, the parent of a special needs child, the family member trying to ensure quality from a distance? You're the reason the whole system exists — and too often the last to know what's happening.
You're not alone. Millions of families navigate the same fog of uncertainty and isolation. Wellnior exists to close that gap.
Not a social media group full of spam and horror stories. Not a complaint forum that goes nowhere. A place built for the people receiving care.
Small groups of 8–12 people in similar situations who meet regularly to share experiences, solve problems, and support each other — circles for seniors aging at home, parents of special needs children, and long-distance caregivers.
Practical wisdom from people who've been where you are — downloadable guides, checklists, and the hard-won advice you can't find anywhere else.
One family's frustration is easy to ignore. Thousands of shared experiences are not. When the same problems repeat — missed visits, denied hours, calls that go unanswered — Wellnior turns individual experience into a collective voice that agencies, payers, and policymakers have to reckon with.
Our advocacy is independent. Wellnior speaks for care recipients and families — full stop. It is not tied to which agency, payer, or software anyone uses, and it never will be. Your voice is never for sale.
Wellnior is your community first. When you're ready to find care or check on it, here's where to turn — on your terms, never pushed.

Wellnior is a free community built for seniors receiving home-based care and parents of special needs children navigating care systems. It offers Peer Circles for connection, a Knowledge Exchange for practical wisdom, and collective advocacy to give care recipients and families a voice. It is operated by Deerghayu Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Seniors aging at home with care support, parents of children with autism, developmental disabilities, or complex medical needs, long-distance family caregivers, and anyone receiving or coordinating home-based care who wants peer connection and support.
Wellnior is specifically for care recipients and their families — not caregivers or agencies. While Carepreneur® serves agency owners and CarePeer™ serves frontline caregivers, Wellnior serves the people actually receiving care, filling the gap where they've traditionally had no community of their own.
