HOW IT WORKS

Get started in minutes

1

Set up for your parent

Create a daily wellness check with a 26-hour window. Add yourself, siblings, and a trusted neighbor as contacts.

2

They check in once a day

Your parent taps a link in an email, replies to an SMS, or opens the dashboard. One action, once a day. That's it.

3

You're notified if they miss it

If the 26-hour window passes without a check-in, you and your contacts receive an SMS and email alert immediately.

FAQ

Elderly care questions

Common questions about daily wellness check-ins for parents and loved ones.

Does my parent need a smartphone?

No. They can check in by replying to an SMS on any phone, or by clicking a link in an email on a computer or tablet. No app installation required.

What if they forget one day? Will it cause a false alarm?

The 26-hour window gives built-in flexibility. If they normally check in at 9 AM, they have until 11 AM the next day. You can also adjust the interval to give more time.

Can I set this up on their behalf?

Yes. Create an account, set up the countdown, and configure the check-in to send reminders to their email or phone. They just need to respond to the reminder.

What message do I receive if they miss a check-in?

You receive the message you wrote during setup. You can include their address, medical info, neighbor's number, or any instructions that would help in an emergency.

Can I pause it when they're visiting me?

Absolutely. Pause the countdown from your dashboard when they're staying with you, and resume it when they go home.

Is this free?

The free plan includes 1 countdown with email and SMS alerts and check-ins up to 2 hours. A daily (26-hour) check-in like this runs on the Pro plan at $12/mo. No credit card to start.
