How One Small Device Changed Everything for My Mom—and for Me

I used to lie awake at night worrying about my mom.

She’s still living in the home she loves, surrounded by her memories, her garden, and the kitchen she taught me to cook in. It’s where she wants to be—and I want that for her too. But I also knew we were walking a tightrope. Often, she doesn’t answer her phone and I get the “feels” I call them. What if she fell during the night? What if she forgot her medication or didn’t feel well and didn’t call? What if something happened… and no one was there?

That kind of worry is exhausting. I knew we needed more support, but I wasn’t ready to move her into assisted living. And then we found Home Care Partners’ 24/7 Health & Wellness Program.

This technology is simple, discreet (there are no cameras), and it works around the clock. It’s like having a virtual companion that’s always caring about her well-being.

Here’s what it does:

✅ Detects falls and works to help prevent them
✅ Sends early alerts for UTIs or health changes
✅ Flags medication errors or unmanaged pain
✅ Listens for respiratory distress or irregularities
✅ Sends real-time alerts to the Home Care Partners team so we can act quickly

It doesn’t replace our caregivers. It just fills the gaps—weekends, evenings, overnights, or that scary space between check-ins when something could go wrong. Now, I know that if something’s wrong, they will know. And that changes everything.

Since starting the program, I’ve noticed a difference in my own health, too. I feel lighter. I sleep better. I’m not imagining worst-case scenarios every time she doesn’t answer her phone.

And the best part? She still feels independent. She doesn’t feel like she’s being watched or babysat. She feels supported in her home—and that matters deeply to her.

If you’re like me—trying to balance your job, your own kids, and the invisible weight of wondering if your mom is okay—please don’t wait. This program brought me peace of mind that I didn’t even realize was possible. Now, we can focus on what matters most.
