CAN Family Alerts
Stay informed. Support independence.
Know what’s happening where they live. Know what to do next.
A working mockup of a co-branded app for the family caregivers CAN serves: place-based alerts for a parent’s home, and a plan that’s already in place when something happens.
Same love. Less worry.
Caregiver Action Network helps family caregivers feel confident and supported. BEPREPARED Solutions adds a place-based layer: awareness when conditions change at a parent’s home, and a plan already in place.

The core offer
Same love. Less worry.
Six promises the app is built around, each one visible on a screen you can open.
BEAWARE
Know what’s happening at Dad’s
Dad’s home, Mom’s assisted living, your own house. Severe weather, power and water outages, official emergency notices and serious local events.
Privacy first
We watch the place, not the person
Alerts are about an address, never about Dad’s movements, his phone or his health. Every alert comes with a receipt of what was checked.
BEREADY
A plan before the heat arrives
CPAP power, refrigerated insulin, the stair lift, a cool place to go, who calls and who knocks. Written with Dad and his care team, ready when the alert lands.
Less uncertainty
Less uncertainty for you. More independence for Dad.
A 20-second pause before severe alerts, calm check-in texts, and a plan that says two calls, not twenty.
All clear
The ending, not just the beginning
Every alert closes with what happened, who confirmed it and how long it lasted.
Family circle
Everyone knows their part
Maya gets everything, her brother gets severe alerts, the neighbor with the key gets what she needs. Share the plan with one tap.
The small things
Twelve small things that keep it caring, not clinical.
Each one is built into the phone above. None of them ask where Dad is.
- A quiet-week digestSunday at five: how many days nothing happened at Dad’s.
- The ending, every timeWho confirmed the all clear, and how long it lasted.
- Before you callSevere alerts start with a 20-second breath and three facts.
- Calm check-in textsLight touch, a little more, or just love. One text, no follow-ups.
- Call Dad, or ask Linda to knockThe two moves the plan agreed on, one tap each.
- Family circleEach person picks their own level, so Dad gets one call, not four.
- Honest estimatesRestoration times are labelled as the utility’s, never ours.
- Thinking-of-you notesA text about the tomatoes or the game, not the outage.
- Seasons at Dad’sHeat season, the winter plan and Mom’s birthday, a week ahead.
- Before-heat-season checklistFans, the insulin cooler, the first-floor setup.
- Caregiver support, one tap awayCAN’s guidance, local lines and the neighbor, together.
- What we looked atThe receipt behind every alert, and what we never touched.
The shortest version
“Same love. Less worry.” Without watching Dad to feel that way.
CAN already gives family caregivers trusted information and guidance. Place-based alerts and a ready-made plan turn that guidance into a living capability: awareness when conditions change at a parent’s home, a plan already in place, and a family that can act together. CAN-branded, white-labeled, or powered by our technology.
