Frequently Asked Questions
AARP has a caregiving app.
AARP's caregiving resources are informational - articles, guides, and planning tools. Our app is operational - it actively monitors daily wellness and alerts family. Different but complementary.
I trust AARP's recommendations.
AARP is a trusted organization. Our app fills a gap they don't cover: automated daily wellness check-ins (free), with escalating family alerts on the Family plan. No AARP app does this.
AARP connects me to local services.
Great for finding caregivers and resources. Our app provides the daily monitoring layer between those services - confirming your parent is safe every day.
Do I need AARP membership to use I'm Alive?
No. I'm Alive is completely independent, with no memberships and no hidden costs. The daily self check-in is free for everyone; family alerting is an optional Family plan ($29.99/yr).
AARP is a trusted organization with millions of members. How does I'm Alive compare in credibility?
AARP has decades of advocacy for seniors and offers valuable resources, discounts, and community. We do not compete with AARP because we serve a fundamentally different purpose. AARP provides information and advocacy. Our app provides a specific operational tool: a free daily wellness check-in, with automatic family alerts on the Family plan. Many AARP members could benefit from adding our free check-in to their existing safety toolkit.
