Technology enabled care

Smarter support with our care monitoring system

Canary Care gives care teams real-time, 24/7 insight into how people are coping at home – helping organisations spot changes earlier, make better decisions and deliver more proactive care.

Understanding daily living

What is Canary Care?

Care services, such as Local Authorities and Domiciliary Care providers, often rely on short visits and self-reported information to understand how someone is coping at home. Canary Care helps fill the gaps between visits, with continuous insight into daily routines and activity.

Better insight, more confident decisions

With around-the-clock visibility into daily routines, our care monitoring system helps teams identify changes earlier, allocate resources more efficiently, and evidence decisions with confidence. All of which contribute to deliverable impact, clear ROI, and more targeted, preventative support.

New and improved user experience

We’ve rebuilt the Canary Care Portal from the ground up, with a cleaner, simpler design, and enhanced accessibility. With more customisable alerts and meaningful insights at your fingertips, it’ll help you provide the right care, at the right time.

What activity does Canary Care monitor?

Our care monitoring system highlights meaningful activity patterns within the home. Discreet sensors monitor patterns such as movement, night-time activity and daily habits, giving care teams actionable insight into wellbeing – all without cameras, microphones, or wearable pendants.

Why it matters

From reactive care to proactive support

Demand for care services continues to rise, while teams face increasing pressure on staffing, time and budgets. Technology-enabled care solutions, like our care monitoring system, help organisations shift from reactive responses to proactive, preventative support.

Clearer picture

With better insight into daily routines, teams can help people live safely and independently for longer by:

• Identifying early signs of declining health

• Prioritising visits based on genuine need

• Evidencing care decisions with confidence

• Intervening earlier to prevent escalation

Canary Care stories

The Canary Care system is great – easy to use, the reports and alerts are simple to understand, and it provides good value for the peace of mind it gives all parties. I would recommend it.

Martin

Amazing service! The company has been really supportive throughout our subscription. It was a brilliant first-step service to monitor loved ones sensitively, without causing undue anxiety. While my mother has now gone into full-time care, I would like to register my sincere thanks to Canary Care for this amazing service – thank you!

Roger Pearce

I have used Canary Care for a few years now. Most valuable piece of equipment to manage my mother’s dementia as she lives alone. I am able to determine if she has had a bad night, if movement patterns have changed and I can check if carers have accessed medication.

Mrs S Herrick

Great to check Mum’s movements throughout day and night, with highlighted areas where she needs more support. Info can be shared with professional care providers, giving them a better understanding of her needs. Very unobtrusive, easy to set-up, and a very reasonable price.

S P Helks

Really happy with this system! Easy to set-up and excellent customer service! As a daughter trying to look after my mum with dementia, and trying to keep her as independent as I can, this system lets me keep an eye on her without being too intrusive! Would highly recommend.

Lorraine

Canary Care has literally been a life-saver for my elderly father, who is an insulin-dependent diabetic. It enables me to contact emergency services when he has been unresponsive, and the service from staff is always exceptional. I will always be grateful to them.

Frequently asked questions

If you’ve got any questions about how Canary Care can work for you, we’re here to help. Check out our common questions, and head to our support page for information on kit installation and ongoing Canary Care Portal use.

Our technology lets you be there in time to help. Rather than reactively caring for someone and admitting them to hospital after a problem presents itself, our sensors make it easier to spot changes in routine quicker, allowing for earlier detection and intervention.

Small changes in activity – like a disrupted night’s sleep, reduced movement or irregular medicine intake – may not seem like a lot. But they’re often signs that something isn’t quite right.  

With around the clock visibility, these signals can be spotted earlier – so you can act sooner, reduce risk and provide the right level of support at the right time, before the underlying issues become serious.

Yes, Local Authorities can utilise Canary Care to help stretch limited resources, because the insights gained from the sensors allow care providers to right-size care, and help support clients even when they’re not physically present.

It’s impossible to care for someone in person for 24 hours a day, but our sensors fill the gaps between scheduled visits with continuous, objective evidence.

With better insight into how clients are coping between visits, carers can prioritise time where, and when, it’s needed most. This helps home care agencies reduce unnecessary welfare visits while maintaining client safety, freeing up capacity across your care team.

When caring for any individual, getting the balance right between ongoing support and enabling independence is vital. Canary Care sensors provide practical evidence to support this reablement decision, with around-the-clock activity data available to help right-size care needs quicker.

Canary Care gives you access to insights that go beyond home visits – providing a well-rounded and full understanding of how someone is coping on their own throughout the whole day.

From monitoring movement and night-time activity to room humidity and bathroom usage, our sensors provide a 24/7 overview into someone’s daily routine – discreetly, without microphones, cameras or pendants. This means you can spot trends, changes in behaviour and check in regularly, without physically checking up.

Our standard Canary Care package comes with everything you’ll need to support independent living for a vulnerable individual.

With a central hub and a full range of home sensors, as well as access to easy-to-understand dashboards in our Canary Care Portal, you’ll be able to make the right care decisions every time, with data you can trust. Included in the package is the following:

  • Canary Care Hub
  • Power supply unit
  • 6 x multi-function sensors
  • 1 x humidity sensor
  • 4 x vibration sensors
  • 2 x magnets
  • 1 x smart plug
