Frequently Asked Questions
I retired recently and live alone. Is this really necessary?
Think of it as insurance you hope to never use. Healthy retirees have medical emergencies too. This ensures someone notices within hours, not days.
Can a friend from my retirement community be my contact?
Absolutely. A nearby friend or neighbor who can physically check on you is an excellent choice for an emergency contact.
I keep busy with activities. When should I check in?
Morning works best—after your wake-up routine but before you head out. It confirms you started the day well.
What if I'm on vacation or visiting family?
Keep checking in from wherever you are, or let your contact know you'll be with people. The app works anywhere with internet.
I am healthy and active. This feels like something for frail people.
Many of our users are healthy and active. The point is that emergencies do not send advance notice. A fall in the shower, a sudden cardiac event, or a stroke can happen to anyone. The daily check-in costs nothing and takes five seconds a day; automatic alerts to your contact are available on Protect Me.
Is a check-in app worth it if I'm active and in good health?
Good health does not rule out sudden events like a fall, a stroke, or a cardiac episode, and living alone in retirement means there is often no one to notice quickly. A daily check-in costs nothing on the free plan and takes five seconds, and it simply ensures that if something happens, someone knows within hours rather than days. Many of our most active users treat it as low-effort insurance they are glad to have.
Can a friend from my community or building be my contact?
Absolutely, and a nearby friend or neighbor who could physically check on you is often an excellent choice, because they can respond faster than family who live far away. You can also keep a distant relative informed separately. The best contact is simply the person most likely to act on an alert quickly, and you can change who that is at any time as your circle and living situation change.
