For Professionals

What This Is

This page describes an awareness option, Alerta Home, that families exploring care planning sometimes consider.

Professionals involved in long-term care or financial planning often get questions from families who want to better understand how daily routines may be changing for a loved one-— before a major decision or transition becomes necessary.

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 and families in care or life planning conversations.
  • Families seeking to understand evolving routines before major decisions.
  • Planners helping families weigh options without urgency.
  • Families who value privacy and dignity.

When Families Typically Consider This

  • During care or life-planning discussions.
  • When evaluating future needs or supports.
  • When anticipating potential transitions (e.g., retirement, diminished independence).
  • When they want context before making long-term financial or care decisions.
