A practical StayOK guide for families supporting an independent senior.
Support independence without tracking your parent
The senior chooses to share one daily OK signal, and chosen family members can see when it is missing. StayOK supports independence without cameras, GPS tracking, microphones, or a wearable.
Many families want more confidence while respecting an older adult's privacy. Continuous location and camera access can change the relationship; a voluntary check-in keeps the signal small and understandable, and the senior stays in control of who sees it.
