Need help at home? Let’s bring in the help Mom wants, on her terms.
Cleaning every other week, a few meals, rides to appointments, the yard and a friendly weekly visit. Mom chooses the help she wants, family pitches in and local businesses fill the gaps.
An illustrative example
Every home is different. Use this as a starting point, and talk to a navigator about what fits your family. It’s free.
Who’s this plan for?
Pick who’s at the centre and we’ll write this page around them.
Help at home, planned together
Here’s what bringing in help often looks like. Use it as a guide, share it with your Circle and change anything that doesn’t fit Mom.
Find help close to home, chosen by Mom
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.
Cleaning
Kitchen, bathrooms and floors every other week, with the same friendly face.
Meals
Home-style dinners delivered weekly, from a menu that changes with the season.
Lawn and garden
Mowing, leaves and the eavestroughs, so the yard is one less thing to think about.
Handy jobs
A sticky door, a dripping tap or a new light by the stairs.
Rides
To appointments, the bank or the hairdresser, with a driver who helps with bags.
Groceries
A weekly order at the door, with her favourites saved for next time.
Keep the neighbours close
Hannah next door can drop by for tea, take in a parcel or keep a spare key. Share just that part of the plan, nothing more.

More time for the fun stuff
With the chores covered, visits can be about lunch, cards and catching up. That’s the whole point.
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 bank to her hairdresser, plus the things Mom wants 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 from her favourite chair, and 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 is in and what they see.
Start with one thing she’s happy to hand off, like the yard or the floors. She decides what comes next, and she can change her mind any time.
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 they are invited 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 cleaners to drivers. It is free, with no account needed.
You’ve got a lot of living to do. We’ll help with the rest.

Coming home from the hospital
Rides, meals and who’s stopping by, planned together for the first two weeks home.
