Tend & Co.

Care for a parent's phone and home

Look after Mom and Dad's home, and their inbox, from wherever you are.

Tend & Co. visits your parents in person to scam-proof their devices and accounts and walk their home for safety risks. You get a plain-English report after every visit.

First visits in the Tupelo area. We'll email you when they open.

What we check

The risks don't announce themselves.

A call from "Medicare." A pop-up that says the computer is infected. A rug that's been fine for twenty years, until it isn't. Whether you live three states away or three streets over, it's hard to see what's happening in a parent's house. We look at both halves of it, every visit.

Their digital life

  • Scam filtering on phone calls, texts and email
  • Passwords and two-step sign-in on key accounts
  • Devices updated and backed up
  • Bank and card alerts set up
  • A one-page guide to spotting scams, for the fridge

Their home

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors tested
  • Trip hazards, lighting and stairs checked
  • Bathroom safety: grab bars, mats, night lights
  • Emergency contacts and info easy to find
  • Belongings photographed for insurance records

How it works

One visit, two audits, one report.

1

Tell us about your parent

A short call with you about their home, their devices and what worries you most.

2

We visit in person

One unhurried visit: their phone, computer and accounts first, then a walk through the house. We fix what we can on the spot.

3

You get the report

What we fixed, what still needs attention and what it would cost, with photos. Shared with whoever in the family you choose.

Plans

Every plan covers both halves.

Each one includes a digital audit and a home audit. The difference is how often we come back.

Who you'll be working with

A neighbor who's good with both.

I'm Ben McAlilly. I run IT and media for a church in Tupelo and teach a weekly tech class for older adults who'd rather not ask their grandkids again.

Before that I spent eight years as a wilderness therapy guide and a wilderness EMT, which is mostly the practice of noticing what could go wrong before it does. Tend & Co. brings those two habits to your parents' house.

Be first when visits open.

Leave your email and where your parent lives. We'll reach out when there's a visit slot near them.

We only use your email to tell you about Tend & Co. We never sell or share it.
