Canary Care for Independent Living
Canary Care for Independent Living
How Canary helps
Independent living is really important, whatever our age. It means we can maintain our freedom and dignity, feel like useful human beings, do our own thing, and enjoy the familiarity and comfort of our own homes.
Your loved one might be becoming frail. They may have recently been in hospital, or need a little extra care to cope at home alone. Quite rightly they're determined to stay in their own home for as long as possible. Luckily there's a better solution to supported independent living than the usual alarms and cameras.
Canary helps take away the worry of supporting a loved one to stay independent by:
- Giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you are keeping an eye on your loved one 24/7
- Working with Local Authorities Canary is proven to support people stay independent at home for longer
- Ensuring your loved one is looking after themselves properly
- Allowing you to spot disrupted routines before they become a problem
- Helping you make good care and support decisions
- Giving you insight into their lives, not just data

How Canary works

The information is sent to your Canary Care portal. The sensors are battery powered and the hub uses mobile data to send the information, so no need for a landline or broadband.

How Canary has helped others
Meet Walter's daughter
A view of what’s normal
“We’ve benefited hugely from Dad having Canary Care. It’s given us more insight into his regular patterns and routines. If we notice that there’s something out of the ordinary, or we receive a notification, it’s usually because there’s something worrying him.”
Peace of mind
“As a family, we live a long way away, and Canary Care has given us peace of mind that Dad’s OK – particularly when we can’t reach him by phone. It’s a quick and easy way of finding out that he is up in the morning, and has prevented a lot of unplanned trips to call in to ensure everything is well.
Helpful alerts
“The temperature readings are also really helpful. They alerted us that Dad’s heating was broken, and we got someone in to fix it much quicker than would otherwise have been possible. It’s a really helpful system for all the family, on a daily basis.”

Phone calls are now more about a nice conversation and a catch-up, rather than checking in to see that he’s OK.
