Unlike traditional care monitoring systems used to log visits, Canary Care provides real-time insight into how someone is actually living at home.
Understanding daily living
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.
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.
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.
Key capabilities
Monitor general activity around the home to get a picture of someone's daily routines and habits – perfect for assessing mobility and knowing when something doesn’t look quite right.
Place sensors on doors around the house to monitor room usage – or on front and back doors so care providers can see if somebody leaves the house unexpectedly, in real-time.
Understand a resident's sleeping schedule, and set-up custom alerts if movement is detected, or light levels spike, during certain hours that raises alarm bells.
Determine if a shower has been used independently with humidity sensors, or set up time-based notifications for when you’re concerned a resident's bathroom visit is taking longer than it should.
Place humidity sensors around someone's home to check warmth and determine if the conditions are conducive to mould growth, making it easier for early intervention.
Keep tabs on when medicine storage is being accessed by placing vibration sensors on drawers or cabinets – with alerts sent to the Canary Care Portal every time they’re opened and closed.
Why it matters
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.
With better insight into daily routines, care teams can help people live safely and independently for longer by:
