New Digital Tool Helps Caregivers Store And Organize Critical Documents
Summary
Pillar, initially focused on free student loan debt relief, today launched a new paid service to help caregivers better care for their loved one’s. A family can use the service to store records such as medications, life insurance, powers of attorney, health care proxies, wills, trusts, bank account numbers, storage unit particulars, garage door codes, marriage certificates, drivers license numbers, passports, pet vaccination records, and more. Bloch, who had been struggling to take care of his mother, diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder in 2017, saw the need for a service that could help families in similar situations. Tens of millions of Americans act as an informal family caregiver to an older loved one, but many don’t have access to the resources or tools they need to provide care in the most efficient way, Bloch says. The security starts with bank-level AES 256-bit encryption, and Pillar says it uses multiple techniques to ensure only only authorized users can access the information.
