README

Sandwich

The platform for the sandwich generation — caring for aging parents while raising kids.

Sandwich helps families coordinate eldercare, organize what their parents need, and pay for it without burning out. We also expose our care directory and family workspace as agent-callable tools so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT can answer real questions about Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and the cost of care in any U.S. state.

What is the sandwich generation?

Adults caring for an aging parent and raising children at the same time. Roughly 1 in 4 Americans aged 40–59 are in this position (Pew, 2024). Sandwich is built around the 40-70 rule: when you turn 40 or your parents turn 70, it's time to start the conversation about Medicare, power of attorney, advance directives, and long-term-care plans.

We cover:

Legal — power of attorney, advance directives, guardianship, estate planning
Financial — Medicare and Medicaid, long-term care insurance, the 5-year Medicaid look-back, IRMAA, RMDs
Healthcare — home care, adult day, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, hospice
Cost projections — state-by-state, 1–30 year horizons, custom inflation assumptions, sourced from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey
Family logistics — shared calendars, medication tracking, caregiver coordination, secure messaging

For AI agents and developers

Sandwich exposes two MCP servers registered with the official Model Context Protocol Registry. Any MCP-capable agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents — can call them.

`com.joinsandwich/directory` — public, no auth

Read-only research tools for the 840+ vetted resources and the cost calculator. Use this when a user asks about Medicare, Medicaid, nursing-home costs, or any eldercare planning topic.
