Parents living alone

Support for parents who live alone

When a parent lives alone, the worries are steady but quiet: are they eating, taking their medicine, safe, lonely? Hassist turns those worries into a routine you can check.

Short answerTo support a parent living alone, build four things: a daily check-in, a person nearby who can reach them, a reliable medicine routine, and a fast way to be told when something is wrong. Hassist covers the check-in, medicines and alerts.

Key facts

A daily check-in you do not have to remember

Maya calls at a fixed time, so a missed call is itself information you can see on the dashboard.

One person nearby

Choose a neighbour, relative or friend within reach as the local contact. It is the single most useful safety step for a parent living alone.

Medicines under control

Track tablets left, be warned before anything runs out, and see honestly whether medicines are being taken.

Know early, not late

Family Notes and trends make gradual changes visible: sleep, appetite, mood, memory, mobility, so you can act early.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe for an elderly person to live alone?

It depends on their health and home. Hassist adds daily contact and alerts, but families should also arrange a local contact, home safety checks and regular medical reviews.

What if my parent does not want help?

A friendly phone call is usually easier to accept than a person in the house. The conversation is about company first.

Can I add more than one family contact?

Yes: a primary contact, a second contact and a local contact.
