Frequently Asked Questions

How does a check-in app help with eating?

It creates a daily contact point. You can follow up on check-ins with a quick call about meals. Patterns of missed check-ins might also indicate low energy from poor nutrition.

They say they're eating fine but I can see they're not.

Ask them to include a quick meal note with their check-in. 'Had toast and tea' tells you more than 'I'm fine.' Track patterns over time.

Should I arrange meal delivery?

Meal services like Meals on Wheels are excellent. Combine with daily check-ins—the delivery person is another set of eyes, and your check-in monitors overall wellness.

Could this be a sign of depression?

Yes, appetite loss is a common depression symptom in seniors. Use check-in data to support a conversation with their doctor about mood changes.
