The problem
The check-ins
The call comes at the time you set, and they talk as long or as little as they like. Your parent hears a reminder for each upcoming appointment right on the call. After a shift, the caregiver gets a call in the same way, with nothing to type and nothing to log into. Each summary reaches you seconds after the call ends.
Every call is recorded and kept, so you can always hear it in their own voice.
A real check-in: an 80-year-old father, 1 min 59 sec
“No child will call you as regularly as this.”
Overall
The calendar
Send a screenshot of the appointment, and it lands on the calendar. Your caregiver texts in a shift change. Our calendar syncs to your Google or Outlook calendar, so you see everything where you already look.

The record
A check-up shows one hour in an office. This timeline holds the ordinary days in between: the calls, the visits, the appointments, and the people who helped. When a doctor asks how the last month really went, you can export the record and share it.

Care team
Every call, visit, and appointment lands on one timeline. Look back at any day. See the month at a glance.
Every call is recorded and every action is logged, so you can always listen to the original call.
On February 26, a parent mentioned a fall. On March 2, the call remembered and asked how recovery was going.
February 26
“I fell down 10 steps last night. Rather messed up my body.”
February 27, the next call
“Given the fall you had yesterday, are you experiencing any new pain or swelling today?”
March 2, still remembered
The call brings the fall up again and asks how recovery is going.
How it works
Your parent answers a short daily call. After a shift, the caregiver gets a separate call to give an update, with nothing to type or log into. Send an appointment by text or email, and after you confirm it, it lands on the shared calendar.
01
Daily, 1 to 5 minutes, at the time you choose.
02
A plain-language update on mood, sleep, and anything notable, seconds after the call ends.
03
Everyone you choose gets the same update at the same time. When you call your parent yourself, you already know the basics.
Insights
One call is a moment. Hundreds of them become a pattern you can see coming, so you can prepare instead of react.
27 of 30 calls answered this month
Margaret's mood and appetite held steady this month, but her balance and evening medication slipped.
“I got dizzy again standing up from my chair this morning.”
“Knee a little stiff on the stairs today. She did all her exercises.”
“I forgot my evening pills again, that's twice this week now.”
“My daughter is visiting Sunday. I cannot wait to see her.”
Steady on her feet
Down from last month, flagged for follow-up

Looking ahead
You can prepare for what comes next.
Margaret W. is mostly steady and recovering well, with two areas worth getting ahead of while they're still small.
Based on her trends, updated after each call
Worth getting ahead of
Late medication keeps triggering her symptoms
Prepare: raise her dose timing with the neurologist; an automatic pill dispenser may help.
When she's late with a dose, the shakes and leg-jerking come back, on four recent calls.
Get ahead of fall risk while her balance is steady
Prepare: a home-safety check, and keep her physical therapy going.
She's gone nine months without a fall, which is exactly why now is the moment to keep it that way.
Forward-looking observations from her calls, to talk through with her doctor.
The families
“If it were not for VIPCall, my mom would not have reached out to me today when she was feeling confused and frightened.”
“My mom likes the calls. She's surprised the AI knows about her cat and activities — the personalization really works.”
“I felt like this was a person who heard me. I like knowing it's AI and I'm not being tricked.”
Every day, from here on
Here is what a normal day looks like once the calls are running.
A short call each morning, and a written update in your inbox seconds later.
Each caregiver gets a call after their shift, and that update lands in the same place.
Appointments and shifts sit on one calendar the whole family can open.
Every call is saved, so anyone you choose can catch up on their own time.
VIPCall doesn't replace your calls, your caregiver, or your emergency device.
It gives the family a shared record, in the voices of the people who matter, so the whole picture belongs to everyone.
The questions
There's no technology for them. It's just a phone call, at the same time each day. They answer like they would any other call. You set everything up on your side in about 5 minutes.
Most families do. VIPCall doesn't replace that. It changes what those calls are about. Instead of "are you okay," you can have a real conversation, because you already know how they're doing, and your calls spend less time reconstructing the basics.
Your parent knows the call is happening and why. They choose to answer. Many older adults say they appreciate having someone ask about their day, without the pressure of a worried child on the other end.
VIPCall retries automatically and can leave a voicemail letting them know it will call back. If there's still no answer, you get an alert. And if your parent wants to complete the check-in on their own time, they can call Sarah back any time. Sarah picks up like any other call.
No. Those activate only when something goes wrong. VIPCall calls every day, whether anything is wrong or not. A picked-up call is one signal. The summary gives you more context than "she answered."
Everyone gets the same daily update, so the picture isn't trapped in one person's texts and memory. It won't fix family dynamics, but it gives everyone a shared record of what's actually happening.
Yes. Caregiver check-ins, shifts, and the calendar all work without them. Add the calls whenever they're ready.
It can help. Over time you can see the patterns: sleep, mood, pain, confusion, missed calls, appetite, repeated worries. The family has real context before a decision becomes urgent.
Yes. You choose who receives the summaries, so the people actually helping are working from the same information instead of second-hand relay.
14-day free trial. Then $49 a month for one person, or $99 for two people with caregivers, appointments and the shared calendar. Cancel anytime.
5 minutes. Add your parent's info, choose call times, set questions. Then it runs automatically.
Any phone: landline, flip phone, or smartphone. No apps or downloads needed.
Yes. Morning and evening, or any combination. Different questions for different times of day.
Yes. They can decline any call. After 3 declined in a row, we pause and notify you.
Sarah. Warm, natural, non-judgmental. Keeps a history of every check-in.
Yes. Many families check in on multiple VIPs: a parent, an in-law, a grandparent. Each has their own schedule.
VIPCall works anywhere there's a phone, so you get a direct check-in alongside the facility's updates.
Yes. Add a caregiver to your plan, and they can call in (or get a quick call) to leave their own update after a shift. It lands on the same shared timeline, so the whole family sees it. You stay in control of who sees what.
Then the caregivers become the check-in. When your parent can hold a conversation, the daily call centers on them and how they're doing in their own voice. When they can't, caregivers keep the same shared record updated instead, so the picture stays current either way.
Yes. Shifts live on the calendar, caregivers can request changes from their phone, and you approve them in a tap. The check-in call that follows a shift moves when the shift moves.
Add them in the app, or text the appointment (typed out or a screenshot) to the same number that calls your parent. You'll get a confirmation text before anything lands on the calendar.
You decide, person by person. A sibling can see everything, a cousin just the daily updates. Medical details stay with the people you choose.
Your family's information is encrypted at rest and in transit. Call recordings stay private to your family, behind account-scoped access, and the permissions you set are enforced everywhere the data lives. Your family's conversations are never sold and never used to train outside AI systems. Your record is yours: export it whenever you want.
She requests the change from her phone. You get it as a card showing the old time and the new one, with her reason. Approve it in one tap and the calendar updates, along with the check-in call that follows that shift.
Yes. You can change any shift directly, which matters when a caregiver isn't set up to log in. Her requests come to you for approval; your own edits just save.
That's handled as a change to that one day. The recurring pattern stays as it is, so a single swap never rewrites the whole schedule.
Yes. Every change is logged with who made it and when, so the family has one history to look back on instead of a text thread.
One timeline holding every call, caregiver visit, and appointment, along with her care team. You can look back at any day, and every call has audio you can play.
The patterns that only appear over time: sleep, mood, appetite, pain, and how steady she's been. One call is a moment; hundreds become a trend you can prepare for.
Yes. Text the appointment to the same number that calls your parent, typed out or as a screenshot of the letter, or forward the confirmation email. You get a confirmation text back before anything lands on the calendar.
Private by design.
