Resources for Social Workers

What This Is

This page explains an awareness option, Alerta Home, that families supported by social workers sometimes explore when managing care transitions or long-term support.

Social workers are often asked how families can stay informed about changes in daily routines between visits, especially during transitions (e.g., discharge, role changes, increased responsibilities).

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

Who This Is For

  • Families supported by social workers or care coordinators.
  • Individuals who spend time alone between visits.
  • Families who want context without intrusive tools.
  • Families prioritizing dignity and privacy.

When Families Typically Consider This

  • After hospital discharge or other care transitions.
  • When coordinating multiple caregiver visits or care providers.
  • When routines appear to be changing, but the level of urgency is unclear.
  • When distance limits the ability to provide direct supervision.
  • When communication about changes in daily routines is uncertain or stressful.
  • During care-coordination meetings or reassessment discussions.
  • When family roles or caregiving responsibilities change.
