The worry

Everything is probably fine... right?

Your mom lives alone and that’s not going to change. She’s doing great! She has more friends than you do, book club, hobbies... But she did have a fall last year. Every morning there’s a nagging thought in the back of your mind. What if something happened and you just don’t know it yet?

The alternatives

You’ve probably already thought about…

A pendant or watch

Only works if she remembers to charge it and wears it all the time. Hers was on the nightstand the morning she fell.

A call-for-help button

If she does fall, it probably won’t be within reach when she needs it.

An in-home carer

It’s expensive and she doesn’t want a stranger in her home.

A camera

She’d resent you for even considering it. And you don’t want to invade her privacy anyway.

How Garden works

A small hub, a few sensors, and a sense of what an ordinary day looks like.

Garden sits quietly in the home and uses motion and audio signals to learn your parent’s normal routine — then flags when something seems off. No cameras, nothing to wear, nothing to charge.

Garden hub

This small device processes signals from the sensors and lets you know that your parent is safe, or pings you when something is off.

Garden sensors

A few small sensors that plug into any outlet and connect to the hub over Wi‑Fi. They use motion and audio detection to make sure your loved one is safe and healthy.

What Garden learns

Over the first few weeks Garden builds a picture of your parent’s normal routine, then watches for the changes that might mean it’s time to check in — and can notify you if something more serious may be happening.

  1. Getting up in the morning

    Garden can recognize when a wakeup time seems significantly different from the usual routine.

  2. Mealtimes

    Garden can identify the audio and motion signals that typically accompany meal time.

  3. Trips to the bathroom

    Garden can keep tabs on trips to the restroom without invading privacy with a camera.

  4. Indicators of a potential fall

    Most importantly, Garden can notice sudden changes in motion or audio activity that may indicate an emergency. When that happens, Garden alerts the caregiver circle so they can check in.

Caregiver experience

Feel secure knowing she’s okay

Open the app and you see today at a glance: is the day broadly normal, or is there something worth a check‑in? And in the worst‑case scenario, everyone in the caregiver circle is alerted so they can check on her directly.

When something’s wrong

You decide what happens next.

When Garden notices something you’ve asked it to watch for — a fall, or a change in her daily routine — it pings everyone in your caregiver circle right away. From there, what happens next is up to you.

  1. Garden pings your circle

    A fall or an unusual change in routine sends an alert to everyone in the caregiver circle.

  2. Talk to her directly

    Reach her through the hub and sensors — no phone for her to find, no button for her to press.

  3. You decide if emergency services are needed

    If she needs help, Garden gives you the right local emergency number for her area.

“Dad is really pleased. He gets comfort knowing Garden is there. It lessens his feeling of isolation; he likes the fact I’m engaging with his day-to-day. One day he called me to ask what time he went into the kitchen!”
