Frequently Asked Questions
I feel guilty not visiting more.
Check-ins reduce that guilt. You have daily confirmation they're okay. Visit when you can for quality time, not obligation.
My siblings visit more. Am I doing enough?
Contribution isn't only physical presence. Being the check-in contact means you're providing daily peace of mind for the family.
Should I hire someone to check on them?
Home visits are great but expensive and not always daily. Check-ins are free and daily. Combine both if budget allows.
They say they don't need me to visit.
They might not need visits for help, but they do need a safety net. Check-ins provide that without making them feel dependent.
I live three hours away and can only visit monthly. Is that enough?
Monthly visits are meaningful, but 29 days without information is a long gap. I'm Alive fills every one of those days with a confirmed safety signal. You visit for connection and quality time, while the app handles daily peace of mind between visits.
