Onboarding & Financial Clarity
Before the search begins, a guided intake helps the family understand what care their Loved One actually needs, what it will cost, and which Communities are within reach. Weeks of searching the wrong options: avoided.
Support your most seasoned, highest-impact employees through an Assisted Living or Memory Care decision for a parent, before it costs you their focus, and eventually their tenure.
Enhance your caregiving support. No contract. No software.
You offer mental health support, fertility benefits, and childcare assistance because those are established benefit categories with a clear playbook.
Eldercare doesn’t have one yet. Eldercare is unpredictable, stressful, and deeply personal for your employees and their families. Giving your employees the tools to make a confident Senior Living decision is a concrete signal that you’re supporting them in this part of life too, even if you don’t have all the answers for every situation.
Hours spent researching Communities, largely during business hours: a second job they didn’t apply for.

“Progressive employers recognized mental health benefits before the utilization data proved it. Eldercare is that next moment.”
Petunia walks families through the Assisted Living and Memory Care search in four structured phases, from financial clarity and shortlisting to touring, to a confident decision the whole family can stand behind.

Before the search begins, a guided intake helps the family understand what care their Loved One actually needs, what it will cost, and which Communities are within reach. Weeks of searching the wrong options: avoided.

A private email alias contacts Communities on the family's behalf. Responses are parsed and routed directly into each Community's detail page. No inbox chaos. Nothing lost.

Text Petunia on arrival at a Community. Photos, pricing sheets, and the 70-question checklist sync automatically to the right detail page. Every tour becomes a structured, searchable record.

Every family member sees the same data. Petunia surfaces individual reactions, scores each Community, and generates a comparison report the whole family can review and agree on.
Ready to add Petunia to your benefits portfolio?
A 15-minute discovery call is all it takes. No commitment, no pressure.
A zero-cost benefit designed to improve retention, reduce caregiver burnout, and support your Sandwich Generation employees, without adding a single task to your team’s plate.
56% of affected employees go in late, leave early, or take unplanned time off to manage a caregiving decision. Supporting them keeps your most experienced people engaged.
The search averages 70+ hours of research, tours, and coordination. Structure and expert guidance turn a second full-time job into a manageable process.
23 million working Americans provide eldercare, more than provide childcare. Extending caregiving support to your Sandwich Generation employees closes a gap most benefits portfolios haven't caught up to yet.
No software to install, no contract, no admin lift. Petunia is added to your benefits enrollment like legal services or pet insurance. Employees activate directly, when they need it.
Zero-cost implementation. Employees access Petunia through standard benefits enrollment, just like legal services or pet insurance. No software to install.
Set a goal and a target date. Invite siblings and other stakeholders. The Family Dashboard keeps everyone informed and the "lead child" in control.
Use shielded email to contact Communities. Tour with Petunia's proprietary 70-question checklist. Upload photos and notes the whole family can see.
Compare Communities on equal footing. Reach consensus as a family. Know the choice was made for the right reasons, with an objective record to stand on, not whatever a commission-driven service recommended.
We are additive, not competitive, providing guidance on a critical elder caregiving decision that is the highest ongoing cost (averaging $250,000–$500,000) and highest-stakes of them all. Generalist care navigators are built to cover everything, which means they're a mile wide and an inch deep on many topics, including this one.
