How Families Use Alerta Home
Alerta Home helps families notice changes in a loved one’s normal routine— without cameras, audio recorders, or wearables. Use the mobile app to see activity over time and to receive notifications when something changes.
1. Place Sensors
Passive sensors blend unobtrusively into the home, including beds, chairs, doorways, and bathrooms.
2. Patterns Appear
Over time, normal daily routines become visible.
3. Notice Change
Spot changes in activity levels that may suggest new care needs.
4. Notifications
Get real-time notifications, so that you can check in earlier, with calm context.

Why Families Choose Alerta Home Instead Of…
A simple comparison to help you decide without sales pressure.
Cameras
Can feel intrusive and create resistance or conflict. Alerta Home preserves privacy while helping families notice routine changes over time.
Wearables
Can be uncomfortable, easy to forget, and easy to stop wearing or charging. Passive sensors remove that burden.
Medical Alert Buttons
Helpful for emergencies, but a button does not show routine changes between incidents. It also depends on the user being able to press it during an emergency.
Frequency Asked Questions
Is this spying?
No. Alerta Home is designed to avoid surveillance: no cameras, no audio, and no wearables.
Do I need Wi-Fi?
No. Alerta Home relies on cellular connectivity, so neither Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth connections are required.
Can siblings share access?
Yes, multiple users can access the sensor data. Contact Alerta Family to learn how.
Does it call 911?
No. Alerta Home is not emergency response. It sends notifications when routines change, so you can check in earlier.
What if my parent refuses?
Because there are no cameras and no wearables, acceptance is often higher.
What’s included and what does it cost?
An Alerta Home kit includes sensors and a gateway. The monthly subscription fee is billed separately.
Alerta Home Supports Elder Independence and Aging in Place.
