We Believe No Family Should Navigate a Care Crisis Alone.
The healthcare system is complex, confusing, and not built for families in crisis. We are. The Care Steward was founded to be the expert, unbiased advocate every family deserves in their most difficult moments.
Our Story
It all started with a phone call at 10:47 PM. A friend of a friend was in a panic, trying to move a ventilator-dependent loved one 400 miles. They were facing a wall of red tape, terrifying costs, and impossible choices.
That night, our founder, Sudhir Gautam, became an impromptu crisis navigator. He spent hours wrestling with insurance companies, hospital administrators, and transport logistics—all the chaotic, overwhelming tasks that get dropped on a family when they are at their most vulnerable.
He saw firsthand that the problem wasn't a lack of information, but a lack of expert, compassionate guidance. Families weren't just lost; they were alone.
The Care Steward was born from that experience with a single, guiding mission: to be the calm, expert, and relentlessly dedicated advocate we wish that family had that night.

"I'm a technologist and entrepreneur who has spent my career building solutions to complex problems. But my mission with The Care Steward is deeply personal. I've seen the fear and confusion in the eyes of families trying to do the right thing for their loved ones in a system that isn't built for them.
