Pick your tier

Three tiers, no upsell tricks.

Each tier adds real capability, not invented "premium" features. One discreet kit, professionally installed. Pricing is set per home after a free assessment, so you only pay for what the home actually needs.

What makes it different

Four things no one else does all of.

Safety tech for elders usually assumes a button they'll wear, a camera they'll allow, and a next-of-kin on the line. For a lot of people, every one of those assumptions fails.

No. 01
Works offline
Cellular and local-mesh fallback means alerts still go out when home internet is down or the power fails.
No. 02
Alerts the people they choose
Notifications go to a chosen support network first — not a generic call center by default. Built for people whose family is the one they chose.
No. 03
Privacy the elder controls
Radar by default, cameras only where consented, per room. A five-level privacy dial and an off-switch that no one can override remotely. Bedrooms and bathrooms stay camera-free.
No. 04
Trauma-informed by design
Built on Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed (PCTI) care — the approach developed under federal ACL funding for serving older trauma survivors.
What we won't do
  • No cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms. Ever.
  • Nothing to wear and nothing to press.
  • We won't sell the data or use it to train models — it stays on the home hub.
  • The off-switch is the elder's. No remote override.
How it works

Sense, detect, reach a real person.

No wearable to charge, no button to remember. The home does the watching, quietly, and only speaks up when something matters.

Step 01 · Sense
The home notices

Discreet radar and environmental sensors read movement, posture, and the home itself — no camera required in private spaces.

Step 02 · Detect
On-device, on the edge

A fall, prolonged no-motion, an unexpected exit, or a smoke/CO/water event is recognized locally on the home hub. Nothing leaves the home to be understood.

Step 03 · Escalate
The right human, first

The chosen support network is notified first, over whatever path is up — home internet, cellular, or mesh. Escalation is tiered, not a straight jump to a call center.

Built on evidence, honestly

We built it around what the research actually says.

A 2025 randomized trial found that passive monitoring on its own produced no change in hospitalizations or care visits at one year. WanderCare is designed around that finding: the point isn't watching, it's making sure a real human in the person's chosen network is reached — the layer passive systems leave out. Founded by Michael Eisinger, lead author of JFNA's Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed care training models, who led a $17M ACL/AoA initiative serving older trauma survivors.

Who it's for

The person today's tools quietly skip.

Won't wear a button
Older adults living alone

About 1 in 4 older adults falls each year, yet most won't wear an alert device or allow a camera. WanderCare needs neither.

Chosen family
LGBTQ+ elders

Roughly twice as likely to live alone and far less likely to have adult children. Escalation goes to the network they actually rely on.

Dignity first
Families buying for a parent

Peace of mind without taking a parent's independence. No contract, nothing invasive, honest about what the home does and doesn't need.

Honest status

Where WanderCare actually is.

WanderCare is pre-revenue with no deployed installs yet. We won't invent testimonials or pilot numbers. Here's the real state of the work.

Now
Working system built and running — radar detection, tiered escalation, privacy controls, and offline resilience on a local-first hub.
Near-term
First pilot home installs in the DC area, and a free home assessment for early families and community partners.
In progress
Research collaboration to advance the hard part — per-person, on-device adaptive detection that reduces false alarms across real, varied homes.
Next
Charitable-access pathway with Wandering With Pride Inc. to reach low-income elders through grants and Medicaid HCBS waivers.
