We’ve walked the caregiving journey

Carallel knows firsthand that caring for a loved one can bring both significant fulfillment and constant challenges. 

Co-founders Hillary Ebach and John Banta created Carallel because of their experience caring for their aging parents.

After their father suffered a stroke and their mother received a dementia diagnosis, Hillary and John, along with their two siblings, began to provide care for their parents. It quickly became all-consuming. 

The decisions were unrelenting. From finances and senior living communities to care plans and payments, they discovered how easily entangled caregivers can get while trying to tend to their parents’ daily needs.

Even with their backgrounds in finance, law and healthcare, the experience was daunting for Hillary and John. Knowing they were not the only ones, they didn’t want others to walk the caregiving journey alone.
