Frequently Asked Questions

They can barely walk now. Is a check-in enough?

It's a minimum safety layer. If mobility is severely limited, they may also need in-home care, physical therapy, or mobility aids. The check-in ensures daily monitoring on top of other supports.

What if they fall and can't reach their phone to check in?

Exactly the scenario check-ins catch. A missed check-in triggers your alert. You call, no answer, you send help. Without the check-in system, no one would know until someone happened to visit.

Should we modify their home for better mobility?

Yes—grab bars, stair rails, non-slip mats, and removing obstacles all help. Pair home modifications with daily check-ins for both prevention and detection of mobility-related incidents.

Their mobility is declining fast. What should I expect?

Discuss with their doctor about the trajectory. Track check-in patterns—increasing delays may reflect declining mobility. This data helps you and their doctor make informed decisions about care level.
