The Problem

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Higher rates of living alone due to lack of traditional family support

Reluctance to use mainstream senior services due to past discrimination

Aging without children or estranged from biological family means fewer people who check in naturally

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my partner or close friend be my emergency contact?

Yes. Your contact can be anyone you trust—partner, friend, neighbor, or community member. We don't assume or require any specific relationship type.

Is my personal information safe?

We store only your email, name, and check-in times. No sexual orientation, no gender identity, no personal details beyond what's needed for the check-in.

Are there LGBTQ+ specific features?

The app is designed to be inclusive for everyone. No assumptions about family structure, relationships, or identity. Your contact is simply 'your person.'

I don't have family nearby. Can a community organization be my contact?

Your contact needs to be a specific person who can respond to alerts. An LGBTQ+ center staff member, a community volunteer, or a trusted neighbor all work well.

I am estranged from my biological family and my closest friends live in other cities. How do I choose a contact?

Choose the person who is most likely to take action quickly. A nearby neighbor who can physically check on you is often the best option, even if they are not your closest relationship. You can change your contact at any time as your local network grows.
