Solo aging
For the adult who runs their own care, with no family nearby to hand things to, by choice or by circumstance.
You run your own life well. The missing piece is a backup plan.
Averyn Ready is the head start you leave whoever steps in: your doctors, your medications, what has been tried and what is avoided, in one packet. An Averyn Care Continuity Partner builds it from your Record Vault, with your authorization.
Administrative coordination and follow-through. Not medical advice, not clinical monitoring, not emergency response.
The gap
The will and the power of attorney cover the end. Nothing covers the long middle.
You signed the will. You named a power of attorney. There may be an advance directive in a drawer. That work is real, and it covers the end: the rare, final decision. It does very little for the likelier path, which is a fall, a surgery, a medication change, a slow decline, and the long middle that follows, where someone has to pick up your appointments, your refills and your household logistics inside 48 hours.
If that week started tomorrow, whoever showed up would be starting from a blank page, with the answers in your head or scattered across portals.
About 1 in 10 adults over 50 are aging solo, no spouse or partner, no living children, living alone, and the number is growing.

The facts
Who does the work. A real person: your Care Continuity Partner, working remotely, by phone, portal and email. No one comes to the house. Averyn was started by Dan Dzina after a decade running chronic care management programs for insurers and providers. About Averyn.
What you get. The Record Vault, the Averyn app, written updates and the Averyn Ready packet. A named Care Continuity Partner and the Averyn Concierge Line both come with Expanded and above. Everything sits in one place, so the work can be handed to whoever steps in and picked up again. How it works.
Day to day
A buffer between you and the busywork.
Even at full capacity, the coordination is a part-time job: portal messages, scheduling calls, refill loops, records transfers, vendor follow-ups. Think of it as an executive assistant for your care logistics; the calls, records, scheduling and follow-ups, handled at your direction, so you stop being the switchboard and stay the decision-maker.
Capable solo agers usually improvise a version of this already, a friend named as proxy, a note of who to call when you are sick. It works until it does not, because those people have their own households. Averyn makes the same coordination durable and paid, so it does not rest on a favor.
Averyn Ready
Leave the person you choose a head start.
The gift to whoever steps in is not a folder of documents to decode in a hospital corridor. It is an Averyn Ready packet: your doctors, your medications, what has been tried and what is avoided, kept current by your Care Continuity Partner at the cadence your plan carries. It is also a person who is already familiar with your situation before anyone needs them to be. You decide who steps in and what they see, on your terms. If there is no obvious person to name yet, that is the usual starting point, not a disqualifier.
How it works
How you get Ready.
Three steps, and the first one is a conversation.
The full processBefore you call See the first two weeks Records Readiness Audit
-
1
A short conversation
Fifteen minutes to hear what you are managing and what you want organized. No clinical exam, no obligation.
-
2
Build the Record Vault
With your authorization, your Care Continuity Partner requests records from the providers and portals you name and organizes what arrives in a Record Vault, source labeled, with a tracker for what is still open.

The packet, and whoever you name
You read the Averyn Ready packet, correct what is wrong, add what the records miss, and decide who steps in later and what they see. The wallet card and fridge magnet arrive.
Already on a program
If you are already on a care program.
A care-management program such as chronic care management (CCM) or principal illness navigation (PIN), both Medicare programs, tracks your clinical care plan, and that is its job. It does not gather your records, your contacts and what has been tried and avoided, for the person who would step in, and it is not built to run your household logistics when you cannot. The two sit side by side. How Averyn works alongside care management.
What it costs
One decision, one year.
Most people here would rather not study a grid of tiers on their own. Getting Ready is one bounded decision: the Vault built, the packet made, and a maintained year so it stays accurate as things change.
Private pay, no insurance billing. The Record Vault, one organized set of your records with its source labeled, is $999 to build. Ongoing support is then a fixed monthly plan, $59 to $799 a month on an annual commitment, depending on how much is happening.
On the usual path that is $3,987 for the first year: the $999 Vault plus twelve months of Expanded at $249, the plan that usually fits a household of one, on the annual commitment.
What changes
When the call comes, you are not a blank page.
A new specialist wants the history, and your Care Continuity Partner sends it ahead of the appointment instead of you reconstructing it in the room. The friend you named opens one packet instead of searching a house for a folder nobody labeled.
The wallet card travels with you, and if a paramedic is ever standing in your kitchen the fridge magnet answers the first questions without anyone guessing. None of that makes the day easy. It just means the day does not start with a search.
Get Ready while it is entirely your call.
Fifteen minutes to talk through what to organize first. Nothing starts without your authorization.
