When Mom or Dad wants to stay in their own home.

A familiar local Care Worker visiting 4 to 5 times a week, plus discreet motion sensors that watch over your parent's routine when they are on their own.

Depending on your parent's needs, support can include:

• Companionship and cognitive engagement
• Meal preparation and housekeeping
• Caregiver respite
• Medication support
• Smart reminders and wellness monitoring
• Personal care and hygiene
• Transportation and community outings
• Mobility support

For families whose aging parent lives too far away from them to provide regular assistance.

If you find yourself asking “What if something happens to Mom or Dad?”, Care On Call means someone familiar is checking in regularly, and you get peace of mind.

Someone sees your loved one at least every other day. A typical week looks like this:

• 3 care visits a week, each 1 to 2 hours with your parent's own Care Worker.
• 1 to 2 wellness visits a week: a quick check-in. Sometimes we stop by because a family member has a concern and asks us to.

Between visits, the sensors keep watch around the clock, and your family Care Circle monitors them on the app.

Small motion sensors learn your parent's daily routine. No cameras. No wearables.

• Sleep: night-time movement shows how well they are sleeping.
• Mealtimes: activity in the kitchen confirms meals are happening.
• Medication routine: daily habits show the routine is on track.
• No movement: if there is no movement for a while, you get a call, text or app alert.

Your family Care Circle monitors the sensors on the app. If something seems out of sync, you hear about it: “Mom is late getting up today?”

$1,500 a month, capped, about $50 a day on average. That includes 4 to 5 visits a week from the same local Care Worker, plus the sensors, setup and subscription fee.

A traditional agency typically bills a 3-hour minimum per visit, so the same number of visits usually costs more, with no monitoring between visits. A retirement home costs considerably more, and your parent has to move out of their home.
