Frequently Asked Questions
How do I suggest this to my neighbor without offending them?
Frame it as something that gives you peace of mind. 'I'd feel better knowing you're okay each day. This free app takes 5 seconds.' Most seniors appreciate the gesture.
What if I'm not available when the alert comes?
Treat alerts seriously. If you can't respond, have a backup plan—another neighbor, local emergency services, or a building manager who can physically check.
Can I check on multiple elderly neighbors?
Each neighbor would set you as their emergency contact. You'd receive separate alerts for each person.
What if my neighbor doesn't have a smartphone?
They need an Android or iPhone. If they don't have one, you might help them get a basic smartphone. The app itself is completely free.
My elderly neighbor has family but they live far away. Can the family and I both be involved?
Currently one primary emergency contact per user. You could be the contact since you are nearby and can respond physically, then coordinate with their family if needed. Multi-contact support is coming soon.
