Guardely for Elderly Safety
The elderly safety-check app that keeps mom & dad connected without feeling watched.
Set Up Mom’s Check-Ins
Elderly safety check-in app
Why adult children search “Elderly Safety Check-In App” every day
36 million falls
are reported among U.S. adults 65+ each year, causing over 3 million ER visits (CDC 2024).
28 % of seniors
live alone, yet 72% say they don’t want intrusive cameras or constant calls (AARP Home & Community Survey 2023).
Most “aging-in-place”
tech focuses on medical devices—great inside the house, useless when mom is at the grocery store or walking the dog.
Guardely bridges the gap with an auto-scheduled safety-check system that pings Mom or Dad through their phone (and optional Apple Watch) at agreed intervals, shares an “All Good” to the family chat, and silently escalates if there’s no response—while keeping every byte of health-adjacent data HIPAA-conscious and never monetized.
Coverage note: Guardely’s live crime/offender feed is U.S.-only. When parents travel abroad, auto check-ins and location sharing still work; crime alerts resume on U.S. soil.
How auto check-ins work (in 30 seconds)
Pick the Schedule
– Morning “Good Day,” midday “Doing Fine,” evening “Home Safe.”
Set the Response Window
Parent taps OK or says “All good” to voice prompt within 5 minutes.
Choose Escalation Contacts
Up to five family members get alerts if response is missed.
Enable Gentle Reminders
App vibrates after 2 minutes; watch buzzes if phone un-answered.
Relax
All good? Everyone sees a green check mark. Lost phone? Escalation kicks in automatically.
Location snapshot —enough insight, zero snooping
- Point-in-time only: The app sends a single coordinate when Mom taps “I’m OK,” not a breadcrumb trail.
- Radius masking: Share city-level location if parent prefers extra privacy.
- Data retention: Geocoordinates auto-purge after 30 days unless a safety incident occurs.
HIPAA-conscious, privacy-first foundation
Guardely is not a covered entity, but we built storage and access controls to reflect HIPAA best practices, easing conversations with doctors and home-health aides.
End-to-End Encryption (AES-256)
protects every check-in and location ping.
U S. Data Residency
servers stay stateside, aligned with healthcare-data guidelines.
No Third-Party Ads, No Data Brokers
monetization comes only from subscriptions.
Consent-Driven Sharing
parents approve each contact before any data leaves the device.
Real families, real peace of mind

Frequently asked questions
The most frequently asked questions and their answers
Does this replace a medical alert pendant?
No. Guardely is designed to complement, not replace, a medical alert pendant or in‑home fall button. Pendants typically connect directly to a monitoring center for emergencies, while Guardely focuses on scheduled check‑ins, fast family alerts, and location snapshots when something seems wrong.
Will it drain Mom’s battery?
Guardely only uses location at check‑in times and during events like a Silent Panic Tap, instead of tracking your parent continuously in the background. In normal use, battery impact should feel similar to a messaging app used a few times a day, not a constant GPS tracker.
What if she doesn’t use smartphones?
Guardely works best when your parent has a smartphone (and optionally an Apple Watch) and is comfortable tapping simple prompts a few times a day. If she doesn’t use smartphones at all, families often pair Guardely’s printable Senior Guide with regular phone check‑ins and, when needed, a traditional medical alert device.
Where do I find plan options?
Plan details and pricing are listed on the main Guardely website and in the app stores under “Guardely: Family Safety.” From there you can compare free and paid features, then start or manage a subscription using the same Apple App Store or Google Play account your parent’s device uses.
