A new diagnosis? Let’s keep life moving forward, on her terms.
The appointments, the questions, the refills and the rides. Start with the people around Mom and keep every note in one place. She decides who hears her news and when, and keeps doing what she loves.
An illustrative example
Every diagnosis is different. Her doctor and her team will guide treatment, and a free navigator can help with the rest.
Who’s this plan for?
Pick who’s at the centre and we’ll write this page around them.
The weeks ahead, planned together
Here’s how the first few months often go. Use it as a guide, share it with your Circle and change anything that doesn’t fit Mom.
Line up help close to home for the weeks ahead
Compare local companies, see who your Circle already uses or ask your Circle for a name. Here’s how it will work in The Market. The names below are examples.
Rides to appointments
Door to the clinic and home again, with a driver who waits if it runs late.
Pharmacy delivery
Refills at the door every month, and a pharmacist who knows her by name.
Home-cooked meals
Soups and suppers for the freezer, ready to heat on the tougher days.
Cleaning
Kitchen, floors and fresh sheets every other Friday, so weekends are hers.
Groceries
Her favourites delivered every Thursday, and Linh can add to the order from Vancouver.
Tech help at home
A house call to set up video visits, bigger text and one-tap calls to family.
Keep the neighbours close
The neighbour next door can pop in for tea, cover a ride in a pinch and grab the mail. Mom shares just that part of the plan, nothing more.
Sunday dinner, as usual
The grandkids, the good dishes and her famous apple crumble. Some routines are worth keeping just as they are.
How to choose well
Questions we suggest asking any company before you say yes.
Everyone who helps, in one Circle
Family, friends, local pros and the apps you already use. Mom stays at the centre and decides who’s in. The names here are examples.
Not sure who to include? Start with our Circle builder.
Prompts for everyone from her pharmacist to her choir friends, plus the things Mom loves to do. It’s free, takes about 10 minutes and you can download your list to keep and share.
Build Mom’s CircleLess chasing, more living
Pearl keeps everyone in the loop so nobody has to hold it all in their head.
Ask for a hand
Post a request once. The right person says yes, and everyone sees it’s handled.
A daily check-in
Mom shares how she’s feeling in one tap, on good days and tough ones, so the Circle can send a smile back.
One shared calendar
Appointments, visits and deliveries in one place, so nobody double-books.
Mom decides who sees what
Trusted Providers only see the steps they’re part of, nothing more.
Questions families ask
Something else on your mind? A navigator can talk it through with you.
No tech skills needed. Mom can check in with one tap, or let her Circle handle the details while she stays in charge of who knows what.
No. Her doctor and her team will guide treatment. Pearl keeps everything around it in one place: the rides, the questions, the refills and the people who help.
Starting a Circle is free, and the person at the centre is always free. Plus is $15 CAD a month, with a 14-day free trial.
Only the people in the Circle, and only what Mom invites them to see. Trusted Providers see the steps they are part of, nothing more.
Yes. A Pearl navigator can help you get started and find local help, from rides to meals. It is free, with no account needed.
You’ve got a lot of living to do. We’ll help with the rest.
