When caring for a loved one who lives alone, it’s natural to worry. Canary Care’s activity monitoring system helps them stay independent, giving you a simple, reassuring view of what’s happening around the clock – without cameras, outdated wearable devices or intrusion.
Canary Care helps build an overall picture of someone’s everyday routine using small, wireless sensors to monitor activity non-intrusively. Families can quickly build up a picture of what’s normal when caring for a loved one through 24/7 insights and customisable alerts.
Support in the background
You can’t care for you loved ones in person 24 hours a day, but Canary Care’s activity monitoring system provides around-the-clock visibility to reassure you between care visits or calls.
Canary Care removes the need for constant check-ins, helping your loved one live independently without feeling like they’re being watched.
Whether you’re away for the weekend, working out of the city, or living further away, our sensors will keep you informed about your loved one’s daily routines – no matter the distance.
View routines, trends, and alerts from anywhere in the world through our intuitive Canary Care Portal.
Use the Canary Care Portal to spot changes in behaviour before they become more serious problems.
The sooner you act, the quicker you can provide the right support, and avoid escalation that could require more significant intervention.
Help your loved ones continue living independently at home for as long as possible – safely and comfortably, with privacy as the number one priority.
Get peace of mind that someone is managing at home, without constant calls and messages, and receive alerts right away if something changes.
Designed for real life
We’ve built an elderly monitoring system that can help you care for an ageing parent at home — without needing to be there in person 24/7. Using discreet activity monitoring and clear, real‑time insight, you can stay informed about daily routines, spot changes early, and feel reassured knowing your loved one is safe at home.
When providing care for someone living with dementia at home, uncertainty can be one of the hardest things to manage. By monitoring daily patterns such as night‑time activity, movement around the home, or unexpected exits, you can feel more assured about how they’re coping, spot changes early, and know when something doesn’t look quite right.
Instead of relying on occasional visits, families can build confidence over time with clear insight into day-to-day routines and spot when things start to change. This supports greater independence for the individual while reducing uncertainty for their family.
Highlighting full activity patterns rather than fragmented moments helps families spot early signs of change. It reduces the need for constant check-ins while making changes visible - without turning the home into an environment that feels intrusive or overly monitored.
When needs fluctuate, it’s not always clear when support should change. Ongoing insight into daily activity helps families understand patterns, recognise good and difficult days, and respond earlier when things shift - supporting more informed care decisions.
What you'll see
With Canary Care, instead of constant checking or guesswork, you’ll get a simple view of daily routines, so you can start to see activity patterns over time. It’ll help you understand what’s normal, what’s changing, and when it’s time for additional support.
Monitor general activity around the home to get a picture of a loved one’s daily routines and habits – perfect for assessing mobility and knowing when something doesn’t look quite right.
Understand sleeping schedules using sensors and custom alerts to see if a loved one is getting up throughout the night, or if light levels spike during certain hours.
Determine if a shower or bath can be used independently with humidity sensors, or set up time-based notifications for when you’re concerned a bathroom visit is taking longer than it should.
Place sensors and magnets on doors to understand room usage, and see if someone leaves the house unexpectedly. Plus, monitor kitchen cupboards and fridges to spot changes in eating habits.
Know when medicine is being taken by placing vibration sensors on medicine drawers or cabinets – with alerts sent to the Canary Care Portal every time they’re opened and closed.
Place humidity sensors in key areas, such as the bedroom or kitchen, to determine if conditions could lead to damp or mould buildup – making it easier to address issues early before they escalate.

Why it works
The smallest changes in routine can often be the first sign that something isn’t quite right. Without the right visibility, these behavioural shifts can go unnoticed, and underlying issues can become more serious over time.
Canary Care’s activity-monitoring system highlights the smallest of changes, allowing families to take action when it’s needed most.
With our discreet sensors, you might notice:
Built for families
Caring for someone often falls to one person, but it doesn’t have to. Canary Care helps you share insight with family members or close friends.
Sharing visibility means responsibility doesn’t rest on one person, helping to reduce stress and emotional load. Don’t carry it alone.
With a shared view of what’s happening at home, families can stay informed and avoid conflicting assumptions about how someone is coping. Keep everyone informed.
Clear, consistent data helps families discuss next steps and make informed care decisions with confidence. Shared insight, shared care plan.
Built on trust
Canary Care’s activity monitoring system is designed to work in real homes, without overcomplicating things. When caring for a loved one at home, have peace of mind knowing that the technology you’re using is reliable and built to support everyday life.
Our sensor batteries are built to last up to 12 months, meaning they can stay in place and continue monitoring day-to-day routines with minimal disruption. That’s peace of mind for you, and the loved one you’re caring for.
Privacy should always come first when using tech to help care for a loved one at home. That’s why Canary Care securely encrypts all data shared between sensors and the hub – so you can feel confident knowing your insights are yours only.
We’ve been busy testing our platform to ensure it’s the right fit for families. That includes adding new features and improving accessibility, so you can monitor activity and support a loved one with the best possible tools.

Canary Care stories
We’re proud of the help we give to vulnerable people and their families, but please don’t just take our word for it. Here’s just one example of how Canary Care can help keep your loved ones comfortably in their own homes.
Real-world example
Just like thousands of families across the UK who care for their vulnerable relatives, Sam’s loved ones were worries for his wellbeing when his condition was deteriorating. We helped find the right solution for Sam, and we can help you do the same.
Sam is an 80-year old gentleman in the late stages of Dementia. He was living by himself and was starting to leave his home in a vulnerable state. During the winter months, Sam was found in the middle of the night by the police while he was walking his dog – he was in his pyjamas, and it was -6 degrees outside.
His children were understandably worried and fearful, but they were determined to let their dad have one more Christmas at home before considering the switch to a care home – a wish that was shared by Sam.
Sam’s family reached out, and we were able to install our sensors the very next day. With our home monitoring system for elderly care, his children were able to remotely check his activity in the house and set up custom alert notifications for Sam whenever something didn’t look quite right.
Specifically focusing on front door exits, we were able to set up a calling circle with Sam’s close family, so that they were notified the moment he left the house.
After a quick set-up and an explanation of how things work, our activity-monitoring system helped Sam’s family to keep him living independently for as long as possible. He was able to live at home for a further 10 weeks, before being moved into a residential care home for his wellbeing.
But crucially, Sam was able to enjoy Christmas in his own home like he wanted – safely and comfortably, all while giving his loved ones peace of mind.

Families
We’ve pulled together some common questions about our Canary Care tech and how best to set up your kit.
We offer various packages depending on the size of the home, and the needs of the patient. It all depends on where you want to be tracking movement and how many rooms or doors you’d like to monitor.
A 6-sensor package is ideal for a smaller home where you just need to monitor basic activity – like when someone leaves the house, but having more sensors means you can monitor more specific activity – like if the fridge is being opened, or windows kept closed. You’ll also get more detailed data with more than 1 sensor per room.
You can use your sensors in different ways to suit your needs:
We’d suggest putting door sensors on front and back doors, and motion sensors in main living spaces, like the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.
You can place sensors on fridges, cupboards, windows, and drawers too – essentially anywhere you want to check movement. This means you can monitor and make sure a vulnerable person is eating properly, taking their medicine, opening windows during hot days, and anything in-between.
Yes, you can use our Calling Circle to share Canary Care data to all named people, so they receive alerts and emails. Having alerts set up to go to multiple people means it’s not all down to you to help if something goes wrong.
Yes, as long as you have internet connection you can access the Canary Care Portal app, or online hub, from anywhere in the world. Remember – receiving SMS alerts may be charged in line with your phone provider and contract.
No, you can grant access to whoever you’d like using our Calling Card system – beyond that, only Canary Care has access to the data. We need access to the data only in order to operate, support and improve the service we offer to our customers, but we never share your data with third parties.
