Automated Daily Wellness Checks
for Independent Living Communities
OKHERE is an automated daily wellness-check service for independent living communities. Residents confirm they’re okay each day, and staff are alerted the moment someone doesn’t respond. Trusted since 2012.
Residents check in by call, text, or Alexa on any phone, in 5 languages — and staff watch a real-time dashboard instead of knocking on doors. And with optional passive sensor check-in, most mornings need no call at all.
confirmed well
Everyday movement completes the check-in. No call, no interruption.
No activity? An automated call, text, or Alexa — in their language.
A person is paged for a real non-response — never a quiet sensor.
No sensors? Step one is optional — the daily call, text, or Alexa is a complete check on its own.
It started with one phone call a day.
In 2012, Colin and Paul Hammond built Iamfine.com for their mother Isobel, who chose to live independently in Florida — a simple way to know she was okay every day without hovering. She's 100 now, still living on her own, and still checking in every morning.
OKHERE is the facility version of that same idea — now with passive sensor coverage layered on top of the daily call.
Checked on every day — however works best for each resident.
Every resident gets a daily wellness check by an automated call, text, or Alexa — in their language. Answer, press 1, done. Add optional passive sensors and most mornings a quiet sensor confirms they're well, so the call only goes out when it's needed.
📡 Passive sensor OPTIONAL
Optional. When a motion sensor sees the resident up and about, the check-in is done — no call. Only a quiet morning triggers the automated call.
📞 Phone call
"Hello Margaret…" — answer and press 1. Any phone: landlines, flip phones, smartphones. Done in 3 seconds.
💬 Text / SMS
Reply OK, Sure, Bien, or a thumbs-up. 70+ natural responses recognized — each with a translated fun fact.
🗣️ Alexa
"Alexa, open daily check." Hands-free on any Echo device. English, Spanish, and French.
🛎️ Call ahead & front desk
Residents can check in early at 830-99-CHECK, or staff mark them in with one click when they see them.
🌐 5 languages
English, Spanish, French, Cantonese, Mandarin — set per resident. Calls, texts, and fun facts all in their language.
One live screen. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Whether a resident is confirmed by an optional passive sensor or an active call, text, or Alexa, you see who's well and who needs attention on one live screen — and the system does the chasing before it ever pages a person.
📊 Live dashboard
Real-time status for every resident. Checked in, pending, or needs follow-up — one screen.
🔁 Automatic retries
No answer? Retries every 10 minutes for up to an hour, then tries SMS. Persistent, so a missed check-in matters.
🔔 Smart alerts
Still no response? Staff get email and SMS — each team member controls their own preferences.
🚩 Concerning replies flagged
Non-affirmative texts surface at the top — urgent ones alert immediately, ambiguous ones get a review window.
🗂️ Complete history
Timestamped records of every call, retry, and response. Daily summaries and compliance-ready exports.
🏖️ Vacation handling
Schedule trips in advance — calls auto-pause and auto-resume. No manual toggling.
When something needs attention, it shows up at the top.
Not every reply is a clean "OK." When a resident texts something off-pattern — uncertain, or asking for help — it surfaces on your dashboard so staff can act.
🔴 Urgent
"Not feeling well," "I need help," "dizzy," or "hurt" trigger an immediate alert — email and SMS, a red-bordered card, and an automated reply confirming staff got the message.
🟠 Review
Off-pattern replies get a quiet amber card. Unhandled within an hour, one follow-up email goes out, then the daily summary. No alert fatigue.
Every flagged message has a one-click "Mark Handled" button, logged to history.
Passive Check-In is here — and your staff feel it first.
Here is what changes on an ordinary morning: most residents are confirmed well by their own everyday movement, so no one is called and no one is chased. When a room stays quiet, OKHERE rings that resident automatically — so a silent sensor only becomes a knock on the door if the person genuinely doesn’t answer. Sensor-only systems do the opposite: they tell your team something looks off and leave staff to go find out.
- No chasing quiet sensors. The system resolves the ambiguity itself before anyone is paged.
- A person is paged only for a real non-response — not for a resident who simply went out early.
- Residents are interrupted less too — an active morning closes the check-in with nothing to answer.
It’s an optional layer on the daily check-in: motion in the room means no call, and no motion means the usual call goes out. No cameras, no microphones, and it works with sensors you may already have. Communities without sensors keep the full call, text, and Alexa check exactly as before.
