The Problem
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Grandparents live far away and you can't visit often
They're getting older and you worry more
Phone calls are hard to schedule with busy lives
Your parents may be the main caregivers for your grandparents, but even they cannot check in every single day
Grandparents often hide health declines because they do not want to worry the family

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.
I am a grandchild in college with a hectic schedule. Will I even notice the alerts?
Alerts are sent as push notifications and emails, so they cut through even the busiest schedule. You do not need to remember to check the app yourself. If your grandparent misses their check-in, the notification comes to you automatically, and you can call or ask a nearby relative to visit right away.
