Set up is as easy as taking it out of the box

When you sign your loved one up, we mail the Base straight to them. It’s the only equipment they’ll ever need.

  • Keep the phone they love

    They keep the handset they’re used to (or we can send a new one).

  • No internet required

    The Base connects to local cell towers via industrial-grade antennas, with a stronger reach than a regular cell phone, even in rural areas.

  • Keeps working when the power doesn’t

    A built-in battery keeps their line working for up to 26 hours if the power goes out.

  • No technician or tech support required

    If they can plug in a toaster, they can set up this phone. Nothing to install and no complex instructions to figure out.

Easily check that the phone is online, see who’s called, and read voicemail transcriptions from anywhere.

Together, you can decide who gets through: family, their doctor, the pharmacy. Simply manage the Allowlist from the app.

Schedule custom automated calls to check in on how they are feeling or remind them to take their medication. It’s one less thing to worry about.

Add the rest of the family to the app so everyone stays in the loop.
