For over 30 years, Alder has been a trusted guide for more than 5,000 families across the Northeast, helping them navigate the aging journey with compassion, clarity, and expert care. Our life care managers are seasoned social workers and nurses, providing both strategic direction and hands-on support, from coordinating medical care and assessing home safety to attending appointments and facilitating meaningful family conversations.

Deeply rooted in the community, we leverage a broad professional network to connect families with trusted resources and foster collaboration across disciplines. Whether offering occasional consultations or urgent crisis support, we tailor our involvement to meet each individual’s unique needs. At the heart of our work is a simple goal: to help families approach the practical and emotional aspects of aging with confidence.

We’re an early-stage startup building the next-generation of scalable, intelligent applications at an e-commerce-level scale, AI-augmented development speed, and product-driven engineering excellence. We’re small, ambitious, and moving fast and we’re looking for exceptional engineers who want to help shape the foundation of our product and culture.
