Sandwich Public Care Directory MCP server

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:

estate planning

• Legal — power of attorney, advance directives, guardianship,

the 5-year Medicaid look-back, IRMAA, RMDs

• Financial — Medicare and Medicaid, long-term care insurance,

care, nursing home, hospice

• Healthcare — home care, adult day, assisted living, memory

inflation assumptions, sourced from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey

• Cost projections — state-by-state, 1–30 year horizons, custom

caregiver coordination, secure messaging

• Family logistics — shared calendars, medication tracking,

For AI agents and developers
