Frequently Asked Questions
My grandparents barely use their phones.
If they can answer a call, they can tap one button. The app is designed for seniors who aren't tech-savvy.
Can multiple grandchildren receive alerts?
Currently one primary contact. Typically a parent coordinates and updates siblings/cousins. Multi-contact coming soon.
What if only one grandparent has a smartphone?
They can share! Grandpa taps the button for both of them. One check-in can represent both.
They live in a retirement community. Is this needed?
Yes! Staff check on residents, but personal family connection is different. This ensures YOU know they're okay daily.
