GoldenSherpa

About the Product

GoldenSherpa is a platform designed to help families find and connect with residential healthcare facilities — senior living communities, assisted living facilities, and memory care centers — for their loved ones. The platform digitizes what was previously a fragmented, phone-and-paper process into a seamless digital experience.

The product allows placement advisors, families, and care facility staff to schedule tours, conduct video call consultations, exchange documents, and track placement progress — all in one place.

Key Features Built

• Event scheduling system for facility tours and consultation appointments
• Video call integration for remote family-facility consultations
• Placement tracking dashboard for advisors managing multiple family cases
• Facility search and matching based on care needs, location, and budget
• Document exchange system for medical records and facility agreements

Technical Highlights

The scheduling system was built as a flexible event management module on Django, supporting recurring availability slots, timezone-aware scheduling, and conflict detection. The video call feature was integrated using a third-party WebRTC service, embedded within Angular components.

AWS was used for S3 document storage, SES for email notifications (appointment confirmations, reminders), and EC2 for deployment. The Angular frontend provided a smooth single-page experience for the complex multi-step placement workflow.

Impact

• Digitized residential healthcare placement workflows for US market
• Enabled remote family consultations reducing geographic barriers
