Is My Parent OK? — Safety Audit
Worried about your elderly parent's safety? This free 2-minute assessment checks their tech safety setup and gives you a personalized action plan. Everything stays completely private — your answers never leave your device.
What is your parent's living situation?
This helps us understand their daily safety needs.
Why Tech Safety Matters for Seniors
Falls Are the #1 Risk
Every year, 1 in 4 adults over 65 experiences a fall. A medical alert device can be the difference between a quick recovery and a life-threatening situation.
Seniors Lose $4.8B to Scams
Adults over 60 lost $4.8 billion to cybercrime in 2024. Simple protections like call blocking and scam awareness training can prevent most attacks.
Loneliness Impacts Health
Social isolation is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Regular tech-enabled check-ins help seniors stay connected and mentally sharp.
Independence with Safety
The right technology setup lets your parent maintain their independence while giving you peace of mind. It's not about control — it's about care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the parent safety audit work?▾
The audit asks 5 simple questions about your parent's living situation, technology use, health concerns, communication frequency, and existing safety measures. Based on your answers, it generates a safety score and personalized recommendations prioritized by urgency.
Is this assessment private?▾
Yes, completely. Everything runs in your web browser. Your answers are never sent to any server — we never see, store, or share any information about your parent.
What does the safety score mean?▾
The score ranges from 0 to 100. A score below 30 is Critical (significant gaps), 30-55 is Needs Attention, 56-80 is Good, and above 80 is Excellent. The score reflects how well-protected your parent is based on their living situation and health needs.
What is the most important safety measure for a senior living alone?▾
A medical alert system is the single most important safety measure for seniors living alone. It provides a way to call for help 24/7, even if they can't reach a phone. Modern devices include automatic fall detection, GPS tracking, and two-way communication.
My parent refuses to use technology. What can I do?▾
Start with passive solutions that require no effort from your parent — like a medical alert pendant, a smart speaker for voice calls, or motion sensors that alert you to unusual activity. Focus on one thing at a time, and frame technology as a way to maintain independence rather than a burden.
How often should I retake this assessment?▾
We recommend retaking the audit every 3-6 months, or whenever your parent's living situation, health, or technology use changes significantly. Safety needs evolve over time, and staying proactive is the best approach.
