One-button family video on the TV
Daughter calls — resident sees her face, no app to open. Set up once, used every day.
For nursing homes, assisted living, and home care
Why your home — and your residents — need Alice.
A short walk through what changes when residents see the people they love every day — and what that changes for your team, the families, and your business.
Talk with usWhat changes in a resident who sees their family every day
A resident who gets to look into their grandchild's eyes on the TV every morning, who laughs at a story their daughter just told them, who waves goodbye and says “see you tomorrow” — that resident has a different week than one who waits.
There is now a robust public-health consensus on this. The U.S. Surgeon General's 2023 advisory on the epidemic of loneliness warned that lacking social connection is associated with risk comparable to smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, with documented links to cardiovascular disease, dementia progression, depression, and earlier mortality. The reverse is also true: regular meaningful connection extends healthy life.
We're not selling sentiment. We're describing the most under-prescribed intervention in elder care.

The resident wants to be here.
A resident who feels connected:
- Wants to be present. Eats. Sleeps. Takes their medication. Tries the morning exercise. Tells the caregiver about the call they had yesterday.
- Engages mentally. Conversation, memory, plans for the small things — a birthday, a holiday, what the great-grandbaby will wear.
- Has fewer “small-but-expensive” incidents — falls from inattention, refused meals, agitated nights. These go down when someone is looking forward to something.
- Stays out of the hospital longer. Stays in your home longer.
This is not abstract. Operators who watch their residents closely see the difference week-to-week. The residents who get regular family contact are, on average, the residents who are doing better — in mood, in mobility, in the parts of the chart you actually care about.

The younger generation is freed too.
Adult children of your residents currently carry an invisible second shift. The lunchtime call to check on Mom. The 9pm worry about whether she took her evening pills. The drive over because something felt off on the phone. The argument at home about how much of the weekend gets given up.
When the family can see their parent on a Tuesday at 4pm — laughing, having dinner, doing morning exercise — the worry releases. They become better at their job and better in their own home.
This isn't sentimental. Increasingly, families choose nursing homes that talk to them. The home that gives the daughter peace of mind on Tuesday at 4pm is the home she recommends to her cousin in October.

In your home, residents feel at home.
Home is not a building. Home is the feeling of being well cared for, with the people you love close by.
A resident in your home, on Alice, has both. Your staff provides the care. Alice provides the closeness. The visual difference in a resident who can see their grandchildren on the TV every day is dramatic — and it changes how families describe your facility.
Better experience → better word of mouth → better occupancy. This is the chain that drives senior-care growth.

Your caregivers do better work, with more satisfaction.
The hardest shifts in elder care are the agitated ones — refusing medication, calling out, sundowning, the night staff carrying the weight. A resident who is calmer because they spoke to their daughter at 4pm is less of all of that.
Alice quietly handles the repetitive layer: the medication reminders, the routine prompts, the family updates, the “are you eating?” calls from worried daughters. Your caregivers spend less of the shift on the busywork and more of it on the human care only they can provide.
Caregivers who feel effective stay.
- More done in a shift, without cutting corners.
- They like coming in.
- Service quality goes up across the board.
- A positive loop — happy staff makes happy residents makes happy staff.
The second-largest cost line for most homes is staffing — recruitment, training, overtime, turnover. Every percent of turnover reduced is real dollars.

What this means for your business.
We won't quote numbers we haven't earned with you. But the levers are clear.
- Residents who engage more, eat better, sleep better, and trust the home tend to stay. Length of stay is the single biggest lever on the P&L of any senior-care facility.
- Fewer agitated nights, fewer preventable falls, fewer avoidable ER transfers — the line items every administrator watches.
- Caregivers who feel effective stay. Lower hiring spend. Lower overtime. Lower training churn.
- Families who see their parent thriving on Tuesday at 4pm refer the next family. Family word of mouth is the highest-converting and lowest-cost acquisition channel in senior care. It compounds.
- New revenue surfaces — telehealth integration, premium room-level packages families will pay for, clearer differentiation when a family is choosing between you and the home down the street.
We'd rather you see this in your own data than read it in a brochure. Show, not tell.
Concrete
What Alice actually does in your home
Plain language, your workflow.
Routines and reminders
Delivered on-screen in the resident's language, with your staff's voice if you choose — medication, meals, hydration, morning exercise.
Telehealth in the living room
The on-call clinician appears on the same TV. No transfer, no agitation, fewer ER trips.
A watchful eye
If a resident is off — heart rate, movement pattern, missed routine — your team is notified with context, before it becomes an incident.
Memory and story keeping
Families upload photos, voice notes, news. Residents have something to talk about.
This is not a tablet you hand to a resident, a pendant they refuse to wear, or another dashboard your team has to learn. It runs on the TV they already turn on. Your caregivers don't change what they do — Alice changes what they don't have to.

What a pilot looks like
- 1
Day 0 — install
We bring the boxes, install them on the TVs you choose, and train one of your staff in an afternoon.
- 2
Days 1–30 — measure together
Video-call minutes per resident, missed-medication rate, sleep patterns reported, family satisfaction, caregiver feedback.
- 3
Day 31 — decide
We meet on day 31. If Alice earned its place, we extend and scale. If it didn't, you owe us nothing — and your residents had a month of extra family time.
A quiet conversation
This is not another piece of technology that solves our problem. It solves the problem you are already paying for, every day, in your building — the loneliness underneath every difficult shift, the worry that drives the family call at 9pm, the agitation that drives the incident report at 11pm. We would like to show you what it looks like in your home. No flavor. Just a conversation, twenty minutes, and a short pilot if it fits.
