App to Check on Elderly: Pros, Cons, Alternatives

Why “There’s an App for That” Is Not Always the Best Answer Smartphone apps promise a simple way to keep tabs on older adults living alone. Search any app store for “app to check on elderly” and you will find dozens of options that send daily push-notifications, GPS pings, or in-app chat prompts. For families, volunteer organizations, and public safety agencies already stretched thin, the idea of an inexpensive app sounds ideal. Yet the reality on the ground is more nuanced. This article wei

Senior Home Care Agencies: Standardize Daily Check-in Protocols

Every weekday morning, thousands of home-care aides pick up the phone to be sure older clients got out of bed safely. It’s a vital task—but when every agency invents its own “morning call” routine, quality wavers and risks rise. Industry regulators and insurers are now urging senior home care agencies to standardize daily check-in protocols so no client is missed, no matter who is on shift. Why Daily Check-Ins Matter * Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among U.S. adults

Adult Day Care: Add After-Hours Daily Check-ins

Why After-Hours Safety Is the Blind Spot of Adult Day Care Adult day care programs deliver structured activities, health services, and social engagement that help older adults remain independent. Yet most centers close by 6 p.m., leaving participants on their own for more than 14 hours before doors reopen.

Senior Centers: Add Daily Check-ins Between Visits

Few professionals understand the meaning of “round-the-clock concern” better than program directors at senior centers. Between exercise classes, meal services, and social events, staff keep members safe while they are on-site. But what about the 18 or 20 hours a day when older adults are at home alone? Research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than one in four Americans aged 65+ experiences a fall each year (CDC, 2024). Even minor medical events can quic

Meals on Wheels: Enhance Safety With Daily Check-ins

Home-delivered meal programs have always been about more than nutrition. For many older adults, the brief visit from a Meals on Wheels driver is the only human contact they will have all day. While that face-to-face moment is invaluable, it leaves the remaining 23 hours vulnerable if something goes wrong. Pairing meal delivery with an automated daily check-in service closes that gap and adds an extra layer of protection without straining volunteers or budgets. Why Safety Gaps Persist After th

HOAs: Launch a Neighborhood Senior Check-in Program

Aging in place is the new normal. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 14 million adults aged 65 and older live alone, and more than half say they intend to stay in their current homes for as long as possible. In many suburban developments, that means seniors are aging right alongside the families next door—and often without a formal support system when an emergency strikes. For homeowners associations (HOAs), this demographic shift is both a risk and an opportunity. A single unanswered
