No more walkie-talkies

The average community spends over $5,600 a year maintaining their walkie-talkies — and that's before factoring in the ones that are broken or out of service. All of that, for a device that gives you zero data and zero visibility into your operations.

Illustrative estimates based on real-world walkie-talkie scenarios. Walkie-talkie cost assumes $350–$650 per device depending on configuration, $50/device/year for accessories, real-world breakage rates, and $7,500 for repeater infrastructure. Actual costs may vary.

Beyond the Cost

The future of senior living runs on data — and walkie-talkies can't take you there.

The cost is only part of the problem. To compete, you need to standardize communications first — then AI can go to work for you. We're starting you for free, so you can be ready for what's next.

Common Questions
Before you start,
you probably have questions.
Does this work with our existing system?

Yes. The Communications App works on smartphones over WiFi and doesn't require any changes to your existing nurse call hardware. It runs independently as a communication layer your whole team can use.

Is it really free?

Yes. The full platform — push-to-talk, messaging, channels, All-Call — is free. Upgrade options are available for multi-site organizations looking to scale.

Do we need to buy new phones?

Not necessarily. The app works on smartphones and iPads your staff may already be using.

How long does setup take?

Fill out the form and we'll take it from there. We handle setup, configuration, and training — no IT team required. Most communities are up and running within one to two business days.

Great care starts with great communication. Start free today.

Setup is fast, free, and we handle everything — so your team can focus on what matters.
