24/7 alert monitoring
Help answers, whatever the hour.
Arnica Care pairs trained in-home caregivers with round-the-clock alert monitoring, so a fall, a wander, or a bad night is never something your parent faces alone.
No cost, no obligation, and we come to the house.
Monitoring is active.
You meet the caregiver first
We introduce candidates and you approve who comes into the home. Every caregiver is background checked, bonded, insured and trained before a first shift.
Monitoring that never closes
A trained responder answers at two in the morning, on Thanksgiving, during an ice storm. There is no voicemail and no queue for an alert.
A plan sized to the need
Four hours a week or continuous overnight support. We adjust the schedule as needs change, without a new contract each time.
Care and technology together
A caregiver in the room, and a responder on the line.
Most families are asked to choose between hiring help and buying an alert button. We think that is a false choice, so alert monitoring is included with every Arnica Care plan rather than sold separately.
A caregiver handles the daily work: bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, laundry, rides to the cardiologist. The monitoring system covers the hours in between, including the ones nobody schedules.
- Monitoring included at no separate charge
- Your care plan, gate code and medication list on file before the first alert
- One office to call, whether the question is about a shift or a device
Choose the device
Three ways to reach us, all of them one press.
Nothing to charge daily, nothing to pair with a phone, and no monthly bill from a third party. We set the device up in the home and show the family how it works.
Pendant and base unit
A waterproof pendant or wristband that works anywhere in the house and yard, paired with a speaker unit that lets the responder talk to your parent from another room.
Best for at homeSmartwatch
Shows the time and step count like an ordinary watch, so it does not read as a medical device. Detects falls automatically and can call for help without a button press.
Least conspicuousMobile unit with GPS
Travels in a pocket or purse. If your father presses it at the grocery store or gets disoriented on a walk, the responder sees where he is and can send help to that spot.
Best for on the goThe first five minutes
What actually happens when the button is pressed.
Families ask this more than any other question, so here is the sequence, start to finish. Elapsed times are typical rather than guaranteed.
The alert opens
Your parent presses the button, or the device detects a fall and opens the call on its own. Nothing needs to be dialed and no phone needs to be nearby.
A person speaks, not a recording
A trained responder comes through the speaker and asks what happened. Your parent's name, address, conditions and medications are already on the screen in front of them.
The right level of help goes out
Not every alert is an ambulance. Depending on the answer, the responder sends the on-call caregiver, calls a neighbor on the contact list, or dispatches 911.
Responders arrive with the details already in hand
Address, gate code, lockbox location, the dog's name, blood thinners, next of kin. Paramedics are not standing on the porch working it out.
You get the call, and it goes in the record
Family contacts are notified in the order you set. The incident is logged in the care plan so patterns, such as three near falls in one month, are caught rather than forgotten.
The hours families worry about
A fall at 3 a.m. is not the emergency. The waiting is.
Most falls at home are survivable. What turns them serious is the time spent on the floor before anyone knows, and the reluctance of an independent parent to call a child in the middle of the night over something that might be nothing.
- Automatic fall detection works even if your parent cannot reach the button
- Nobody has to feel like a burden for pressing it
- Overnight caregiving shifts available when monitoring alone is not enough
Adults aged 65 and older report a fall each year, and falls remain the leading cause of injury-related death in that age group. Fewer than half tell their doctor.

Transitional care
The first month home from the hospital.
Discharge is when things go wrong. Instructions get misread, a new prescription interacts with an old one, and someone weak from a week in bed tries the stairs anyway. The result is often a second admission that was avoidable.
We build a short-term plan for that window: a caregiver present during the risky hours, monitoring for the rest, and a written handoff that follows the discharge instructions rather than guessing at them.
- Medication reminders matched to the discharge sheet
- Rides to follow-up appointments, with someone in the room taking notes
- A walk-through of the house for rugs, cords, lighting and grab bars
- Coverage that steps down week by week as strength returns
