Awareness Between Caregiver Visits
Without Replacing Caregivers

Resources for Home Care Service Operators

What This Is

This page explains a complementary awareness option, Alerta Home, that families receiving part-time or scheduled in-home care sometimes explore.

Caregiver service operators are often asked how families can stay informed between visits—especially when care is not continuous and routines vary day to day.

Alerta Home is a passive awareness system designed to provide context about movements or activities, without cameras, recorders, or wearables.

Who This Is For

  • Individuals receiving part-time or scheduled in-home care.
  • Families supporting someone who spends time alone between visits.
  • Families who value privacy, dignity, and independence.
  • Families seeking awareness rather than real-time oversight.

When Families Typically Consider This

  • When care is scheduled but not 24/7.
  • When caregivers are present only part of the day or certain days of the week, or want reassurance overnight.
  • When families want reassurance between visits without increasing supervision.

How Home Care Providers
Use This Resource

Use of this resource is always optional. Caregiver service operators may use this as:

  • An educational resource for families receiving scheduled caregiving visits.
  • A conversation aid when discussing awareness between caregiver visits.
  • A short-term or situational support option during transitions in care schedules or staffing.

When To Introduce It

  • When families express concern about periods between caregiver visits.
  • During schedule changes, staffing transitions, or temporary coverage gaps.
  • After a fall, hospitalization, or return home from rehab.
  • When families request additional reassurance but do not want surveillance tools.
  • When introducing a new client to services and discussing how families stay informed between visits.
