Monitoring Options

HopeBridge offers three options for monitoring:

1. Family Monitoring:

This option is best for families and loved ones that live nearby. Any alerts and check-ins will go directly to selected loved ones. A monthly report from HopeBridge is provided to family members.

2. HopeBridge Monitoring:

This option is perfect for families that need a little extra support and security. Any alerts and check-ins will go directly to our nursing and caregiving staff. Twenty-four hour monitoring and emergency calls can be answered and dealt with immediately. Continuous communication with family is offered through weekly or monthly reports on activity and concerns.

3. Caregiver Connect:

This all-inclusive option goes beyond monitoring and reporting. With Caregiver Connect, the user, with a push of a button, can schedule transportation, caregiving services, housekeeping, and even nursing visits. Video-chats are available with our nursing staff for health concerns. HopeBridge will monitor health status, safety concerns and activity, and report to loved ones daily, weekly or monthly, as requested.
