Know every resident is okay each morning — on the phones they already have, in their language, with a small staff and a fixed budget.
OKHERE is an automated daily wellness-check service for senior housing. Each resident confirms they’re okay once a day by phone call, text or Alexa, and on-site staff or your service coordinator are alerted only when someone doesn’t respond. It fits HUD Section 202 properties, LIHTC senior communities, public housing authority senior buildings and other income-restricted 55+ and 62+ housing.
Affordable senior housing usually has the hardest version of the daily-check problem: many residents living alone, a lean on-site team, residents on landlines or basic phones, several languages in one building, and no room in the budget for hardware projects.
Landlines, flip phones and smartphones all work. Residents press 1, reply OK by text, use Alexa, or call in early. No app, no WiFi, nothing for residents to buy.
English, Spanish, French, Cantonese and Mandarin, so each resident hears the check-in in the language they’re most comfortable with.
Non-responders are retried every 10 minutes for up to an hour before anyone is paged, so staff follow up on a handful of residents instead of walking every floor.
No hardware, no equipment fees and no IT project. A property can start with a few residents and be live the next morning.
Alerts go to the people who respond on your property — property manager, service coordinator, or whoever is on shift — by email and SMS, and everyone’s status for the day is on one real-time dashboard. Replies such as “I need help” alert staff immediately. Unlimited admin accounts are included, and check-ins can be paused in advance for a resident’s trip and resume automatically.
Every check-in attempt, response and alert is timestamped and kept in a history you can export. Housing authorities and facilities use that record to show their wellness checks happen systematically, every day.
Whether a daily check-in is required, and how it’s documented, depends on your property’s program, regulatory agreements and management plan. OKHERE doesn’t make that determination; it gives you a consistent daily check and the record to go with it.
One plan per property, everything included. No setup, equipment, per-call or cancellation fees; no long-term contract (90 days’ notice to cancel).

That depends on your property’s program and agreements, and OKHERE doesn’t determine it. What OKHERE provides is a consistent daily check-in and a timestamped record of every attempt, response and alert.
No. Residents answer an automated call and press 1, reply OK by text, use Alexa, or call in early. Landlines and flip phones work.
No. Keep your pull cords or pendants. OKHERE is not an emergency service; residents should always call 911 in an emergency. A daily check-in covers the resident who couldn’t reach anything overnight.
