Who it's for

Caregivers who worry about nutrition — and have enough on their plate.

Adult children caring from a distance

Your parent's eating the same processed meals every day and you're worried. You're not a dietitian — but you can type in their conditions and get a real, structured plan back in seconds. Then email it to whoever's there.

In-home caregivers & family

You're already managing medications, appointments, and a hundred other things. This removes one decision: what to cook. Pick the conditions, get a week's worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks — printed, ready to cook.

FAQ

Questions caregivers actually ask.

PlatePath respects diabetic-appropriate carbohydrate targets and glycemic index. It selects foods that don't spike blood sugar — low-GI grains, lean proteins, high-fiber vegetables. Every meal shows calorie and carb counts so you can cross-reference with any meal-plan advice your parent has received from their doctor or dietitian. PlatePath is a planning tool, not a medical device — always defer to a registered healthcare provider for medical decisions.

Yes. Select "soft textures" and the plan shifts to IDDSI Level 4–5 compliant meals: pureed or minced foods, no hard chunks, moist preparations throughout. This includes things like smooth soups, mashed vegetables, soft scrambled eggs, yogurt, and well-cooked porridge. If your parent has a specific IDDSI level recommended by a speech-language pathologist, mention it in the notes and we'll note the relevant level.

It gives you direct links. Every item on the grocery list links to an Instacart search (or Amazon Fresh if you prefer) so you can add it to your cart in seconds. There's no separate Instacart account setup or API integration required — it's just pre-built search links. You can also print the list and shop in-store. The grocery list is organized by aisle (produce, dairy, proteins, pantry, etc.) so it's easy to walk through a store efficiently.

Your plan data is private to you. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to train AI models. Dietary profiles are stored in your session and associated with your email only if you choose to save one. When you email a plan to a caregiver or senior, that email goes directly to them — we don't retain a copy beyond standard email logs. You can email plans without creating an account at all.

Building a plan is free. Creating your first account and saving a plan is free. Sending a plan by email to a caregiver or senior is free. If you want to receive SMS or text reminders for meal times, or premium features like real-time dietitian review of your plan, there's a small monthly plan — but everything in the core flow (build, get groceries, email the plan) costs you nothing beyond groceries.

That's the default, actually. Most seniors have 2–3 overlapping conditions — diabetes and heart disease, for example, or dysphagia plus renal issues plus a nut allergy. Select all that apply and the plan enforces all of them simultaneously. Where conditions conflict (e.g., renal needs more protein vs. some renal phases restrict protein), the system prioritizes the most restrictive rule and flags it for you to check with the care team.

It's designed for caregivers to set up and manage, but a tech-comfortable senior can absolutely use it themselves. The cleaner the dietary profile, the better the plan. If you want to control it without giving them access, just email the plan to them after you build it — they'll receive it as a clean, readable summary, not the app interface.
