ElderCare
is an automated
and telephone-based monitoring and assurance service
that automatically calls to check upon the well-being,
safety, and security of our seniors--one, few, or many
times per day. See
Background.
ElderCare
is completely automatic and user friendly.
ElderCare will call the senior periodically according to
a schedule pre-selected from menu-driven options
selected by the senior, family, or caregivers. See
Detailed Procedures.
If seniors prefer, they may call to
check-in with
ElderCare rather than have ElderCare call them.
They can also select a mix of both methods.
The frequency of calls to members is determined by a
menu-driven enrollment process in which seniors—or
caregivers—make selections according to their needs.
The automated telephone call to the senior will
request the senior to press various keys on the
telephone keypad as an indication of their state of
welfare or requirement for assistance.
The action taken by ElderCare is response dependent and
is also driven by choices during enrollment. If a
normal—or anticipated—response is received from the
senior, then the system will reset and proceed to the
next scheduled event.
If an abnormal response is received from the
senior--including no response--which may indicate the
need for assistance, then ElderCare will automatically
and immediately inform the members social support group
(family, friends, neighbors, caregivers)—through all
available means, including voice notification—that the
senior did not respond appropriately, or in the
anticipated manner.
ElderCare
is dedicated in providing high value services to its
customers. ElderCare will provide increased security, a
sense of dedicated caring, and a safety net for
seniors, while providing a sense of comfort to their
families, and social and healthcare networks.

Aging,
Independence, and ElderCare.
As our population ages, questions arise
regarding dignity, quality of life, and
individual independence.
-
Seniors do not want to burden
family, friends, and neighbors.
-
Human nature drives the
desire for independence.
-
Most seniors want to remain in
their own homes.
Sometimes, medical and mobility
conditions threaten independence--when
just a little
checking would suffice. ElderCare supports an
independent lifestyle.
Safety, security, and physical
well-being are constant concerns for independent
seniors. Sometimes, seniors simply have a need for
someone to check on their health and welfare and to
provide routine or occasional reminders.
ElderCare
was designed to assist seniors who
desire to maintain their independence; those who live
alone and have a need for increased safety and security;
those who are avoiding long-term care; those who may
need an occasional reminder; and, those who are trapped in the
"no care zone."
Peace-of-Mind. ElderCare
provides peace-of-mind to both seniors and caregivers.
ElderCare will
provide increased sense of security, dedicated caring,
and a safety net for seniors, while providing a sense of
comfort to their families and social and healthcare
networks--their caregivers.
Affordable
Alternative. ElderCare
is very affordable and cost-effective—particularly for
those on a limited and fixed income.
It is an affordable
alternative to expensive, long-term care facilities and in-home
companions, when periodic monitoring would suffice.
ElderCare
serves the interests of several groups: 
-
Seniors
themselves, living together or alone
-
War-babies and
baby-boomers—who have
concerns for themselves and their aging parents
-
Caregiving networks
for all groups—who
desire increased peace-of-mind and personal time
-
Employers—who
experience loss of productivity through employees
having to perform
caregiving tasks
-
Long-term Care
Insurers—that
could benefit by prolonging policyholders' reliance upon
the provisions of their policies
Cost of
Service. The normal
cost for ElderCare is
$39.95
per month—if paid monthly. That's
peace-of-mind—for both seniors and
caregivers—for a little more than a dollar per day.
Discounts are available. See
Special
Pricing.
Payment
Options. ElderCare has a variety of payment options and offers
protection for online, telephone, or mailed payments.
See
Payment Options.
No Long-Term
Contracts. ElderCare does not have long-term contracts. A
senior, family member, or caregiver can enroll the
senior for any length of time, but there is no
obligation. See
Enrollment.
Cancellation
of Service.
Satisfaction is 100% guaranteed and the ElderCare
service may be cancelled at any time.
