Good morning, Grace

Room 12 · Willow Cottage

Thank you, Grace.

Sister knows you're up. Have a lovely day.

Checked in at 06:01

Help is on its way.

Sister has been told.

Tap the buttons — this is the real resident flow. It always starts again from here when the page is reloaded.

The morning round takes an hour. It should take two minutes.

Right now, someone walks the halls checking a card in every window. It works, but it's slow, and it depends entirely on one person's morning.

The way it happens today

Manual morning rounds

Staff walk every corridor, check every window, and write it all down by hand — every single morning, rain or shine. Miss one room, and that resident might not be checked until someone remembers.

The way it should happen

The sister knows by 9:15. Which rooms to go to first.

Residents tap one button on their own phone. Staff open one screen and see everyone's status at a glance. No tap by cutoff? That's your alert to visit. The sister already knows which rooms to check before she finishes her coffee.

How the morning actually runs

Four simple moments, timed automatically, every single day.

7:00 AM — Reset

Every resident's status resets automatically. A gentle prompt appears on their phone.

Resident taps

One tap. Green if they're okay, red if they need help. That's the entire interaction.

9:15 AM — Cutoff

Anyone who hasn't responded is automatically flagged — nobody is missed, nobody falls through the cracks.

Staff see everything

A single dashboard shows who's okay, who needs help, and who hasn't responded — all at a glance.

Built for residents, designed for care

Every detail is intentional — because the people using this deserve dignity, not complexity.

Large, simple buttons

Two big buttons, high contrast, easy to read. Designed for hands that might not be as steady as they used to be.

English & Afrikaans

Tap once to switch languages. Residents choose what's comfortable for them — no settings to change.

Instant alerts

When a resident taps "I need help," staff hear an alert chime immediately. No delays, no missed calls.

Private & secure

No social features, no chat, no data collection. Just a daily check-in that keeps residents safe.

Automatic cutoff

Set a cutoff time (like 9:15 AM). Anyone who hasn't responded is flagged — nobody falls through the cracks.

Multi-village support

Manage multiple care homes from one account. Each village gets its own dashboard and settings.

On a phone they already own.

No new hardware. No tablets to buy. Residents use the phone in their pocket or handbag.

Step 1

Install the app

Install the ElderWatch app on the resident's phone — an Android APK, or a TWA on iOS. The ElderWatch icon appears on their home screen like any other app.

Step 2

Enrol the resident

Enter their name, room number, phone number, and emergency contact. One form, once.

Step 3

Pair the phone

Scan a QR code or enter a pairing code. The phone is now locked to that one resident — simple and secure.

Step 4

Choose a language

English or Afrikaans. The resident picks once, and every screen, every prompt, every confirmation uses that language.

Mark the dates once. The board stays honest.

Hospital stays, family visits, holidays — residents come and go. ElderWatch keeps track so you don't have to.

Excluded from the count Away residents don't show up as "missing" on the dashboard. The numbers stay accurate — no false alarms.
Back automatically When their return date arrives, they're back in the morning count — no manual step, nothing to remember.
The reason stays on the record Hospital, holiday, family visit — every absence is logged with a reason and dates. The history is always there.

One page a day. Printed or emailed, every morning.

A record you did not have to write — generated automatically from real check-ins.

Today's sheet

One page with every resident's status this morning. Print it or email it.

7-day & 30-day reports

See attendance patterns over time. Spot who's been missing mornings regularly.

A record you didn't write

Every check-in is logged automatically with a timestamp. No clipboard, no pen, no transcription errors.

One login for the group. Each home sees only its own.

Run multiple care homes from a single account. Each site stays independent and private.

Every home on one screen Group admin? See all your villages at a glance. Home admin? You only see your own — clean and focused.
Two kinds of staff login Admin sees everything across all homes. Home admin sees only their own village. Permissions are automatic.
Each home sets its own morning Willow Cottage opens at 7:00 AM. Oak House opens at 7:30 AM. Every village runs on its own schedule.

A phone locked to one resident. An office that can unlock it.

Privacy isn't an afterthought — it's the architecture.

The phone knows only its own resident One device, one resident. The phone cannot see other residents' data — ever. There's nothing to leak.
A lost phone is unpaired in seconds Device gone? Staff unpair it from the dashboard instantly. The phone shows nothing — no data, no resident info.
Staff sign in — residents don't have to The dashboard requires authentication. The resident's phone is already paired — no passwords, no logins, no friction.
Only what the sister needs No medical records, no personal history, no GPS tracking. Just: is this person okay this morning? That's it.

One wing. Thirty mornings. Then you decide.

A pilot you can run in your sleep — because the system runs itself.

Before day one

Set up in an afternoon. Pair the phones, enrol the residents, choose the cutoff time. Done.

Days 1–30

Run the morning as normal. Residents tap, sisters check the dashboard. No extra work — just better information.

Day 30

Look at the file together. See how many mornings ran clean, how many visits were caught early, how the staff felt.
