Homewatch Connect
Virtual Home Care Technology
Many home care clients can benefit from virtual visits with their care team, healthcare providers, family members, and friends. These visits play an important role by making companionship more accessible and reducing feelings of isolation that those who live alone often experience. Homewatch CareGivers is proud to offer Homewatch Connect™, a component of Homewatch CareGivers Total Care SolutionsTM, our innovative home care technology that facilitates virtual care visits and so much more.
Homewatch Connect Features
Homewatch Connect is a multi-functional home care monitoring device that collects data via environmental sensors that are placed in designated areas within the home. The sensors provide information that may indicate concerns to be addressed. It doesn’t record the person, but it does detect heat and humidity depending on where sensors are placed in the home. Homewatch Connect’s motion sensors can alert the care team to possible issues, such as a client getting out of bed several times throughout the night. Microphones monitor for potentially troubling sounds such as breaking glass, frequently flushing toilets, or water running for too long.
Additionally, Homewatch Connect can be programmed to provide medication reminders to minimize the risk of missed dosages. It can also remind clients about virtual care visits and in-person doctor appointments.
Homewatch Connect screens calls and only allows incoming communication from known and approved contacts. This feature minimizes feelings of loneliness and isolation by providing a way to keep in touch with family and friends. It offers peace of mind that incoming calls are not scammers who often prey on elders.

An in-person evaluation will determine the level of care the person will most benefit from. During that evaluation, a home care professional will conduct a thorough assessment of the client’s fall risk, screen for concerns of cognitive decline, and ability to independently complete activities of daily living.
Virtual visits through Homewatch Connect are most often suitable for clients at the following levels of care:
