Care

Know she picked up this morning without calling her yourself

A daily check-in call for a parent who lives alone. It rings her every morning, in her language and by her name, and if she does not pick up, you are told by text and email.

From $29 a month, about $1 a day. Or $17.40 a month paid 6 months ahead. First month refunded if you ask within 30 days.

More options

The call says good morning to this name, so you hear what she would.

After the call, if you want
What you will hear
  1. First it says this is a demonstration somebody asked for on our website, and to hang up if that was not you.
  2. Then the opening of her call: good morning by the name you typed, that it is automated, and which number to dial in an emergency.
  3. Two questions: how you are feeling, and whether there is anything to pass on. Answer out loud, the way she would.
  4. Then the assistant explains Care in its own voice: it is a virtual assistant, not a person, and it is the one that calls her every day at the time you pick. It asks your questions, writes down her answers, tells the family straight away when something is wrong, and you see the answers in your panel.
  5. It ends by saying once more that no person makes these calls, and goodbye.

From $29 a month, about $1 a day. First month refunded if you ask within 30 days.

Read the call, word for word
  1. The call:Good morning, Margaret. This is your daily call from an automated assistant, on behalf of your family. It is not an emergency service. If you need help now, hang up and dial 911.
  2. The call:How are you feeling today?
  3. Margaret:I'm fine, thank you. Slept right through.
  4. The call:Is there anything you would like me to pass on to your family?
  5. Margaret:Tell my daughter the package arrived.
  6. The call:Thank you, Margaret. I will call again tomorrow at 9 in the morning. Goodbye.
Hear it first, on your own phone

Her call, in your words

Up to three questions of your own a day, read out exactly as you type them, on the days you pick.

“Did the nurse come today?”

  • Tell me when the answer is no

    Or when it is yes. It reaches you as an answer to your question, not as an alarm.

  • Her name, and a voice you pick

    The call greets her the way you would: Mrs. Hall, Margaret, Mom. Five natural voices, three women and two men.

  • The next call remembers this one

    If she mentions the stairs on Tuesday, Wednesday's call opens by asking about the stairs, in the word she used.

What families ask first

Does it work on a landline, or does she need a smartphone?
A landline works. She needs no app and no smartphone.
Which number will she see when it calls?
A number we show you in advance, so she can save it in her phone.
How long is the daily check-in call?
That is how long the call lasts on an ordinary day.
What if she goes into hospital for a week?
Pause the calls with an end date and they start again on their own.
Is Care a medical alert or an emergency service?
No. It is a daily phone call, not an emergency service and not a medical device, and it cannot tell whether somebody has fallen. Every call says so and gives the emergency number.

What Care is not

  • Not a person. Every daily call is made by an automated assistant, and it says so first.
  • Not an emergency service, and never a substitute for one.
  • Not a medical device, and nothing here is a medical opinion.
  • It cannot tell whether somebody has fallen. It can tell you nobody answered.
  • Not a recording. No audio is kept, only her answers as text.
  • Not without her agreement. The setup asks when you asked her and what she said.

Who is calling

You are asking a machine to call your mother every morning. You should know whose it is.
