“This product is worth every penny. Our mom has dementia and it prevents her from constantly calling 911, dialing people during late hours and prevents scammers from calling her.”

Stop Scammers & Telemarketers
Scammers and telemarketers cause stress and financial loss for caregivers and their loved ones. AARP found that older Americans lose over 28 Billion dollars each year to elder exploitation. Surprisingly, 70% of that is lost to family members and other known acquaintances. The rest is lost to professional scammers and other strangers.
At teleCalm, we believe that seniors should be able to communicate by phone without concern for scams or exploitation. That’s why we provide phone service which can be personalized for each unique family situation.
teleCalm Caregiver service is designed for seniors who need more help and support from their caregivers. These plans empower caregivers to narrowly specify which kinds of calls are allowed. Caregiver plans also include an app to manage preferences and monitor call history.
teleCalm Trust service is made for independent seniors who generally exercise good judgment and who need less support. This service automatically identifies and blocks most scammers and telemarketers. Trust service does not include the Caregiver App.
“Cut spam and scam calls to my mom 100%. She was getting 150-200 calls a day! Now, zero!”

Manage Compulsive Repeat Dialing and Late Night Dialing
Seniors with Alzheimer’s or other dementias often place disruptive calls to family, friends or businesses. Emotions can run high when such calls turn into repeated habits. Behaviors like repeat dialing and late night calls frequently cause stress for everyone.
teleCalm Caregiver service helps caregivers manage repeat dialing behaviors. If the senior starts dialing a contact over and over again in a short period of time, our service automatically prevents those calls from going through. Instead, we play a gentle message to the senior indicating that the person they’ve dialed is not available. After the repeat dialing behavior slows down, teleCalm allows calls to go through.
teleCalm Caregiver service also helps caregivers manage late night dialing habits. If the senior dials a contact during caregiver defined quiet hours, our service automatically prevents those calls from going through. Instead, we play a gentle message to the senior saying that it’s a bad time to call. Our Quiet Hours feature can also prevent late night calls from disturbing a seniors’ sleep.
“Your service has been a lifesaver. Not only can I stop unwanted calls at night or repeat dialing but I can also see who mum is calling or trying to call and the service works great!”

Advanced Emergency Call Handling
Many seniors with dementia develop a troublesome 911 calling habit and repeatedly dial 911 for inappropriate reasons. We’ve had senior customers call 911 for help because of scam calls, or because they feel lonely. Some of our customers have dialed 911 dozens of times in one day. Without teleCalm, such habits typically cause considerable stress and often lead to the caregiver taking away the senior’s phone.
teleCalm helps manage emergency calls in several ways. All teleCalm service plans can alert caregivers when the senior dials 911. Additionally, teleCalm Caregiver service offers unique features to help manage problematic 911 habits. For seniors who live in Assisted Living or Memory Care communities, teleCalm can route 911 calls to an on-site nurse station. For seniors living at home, teleCalm offers Caregiver + Priority Response service. Our Priority Response service provides EMT certified operators who are trained to assess situations and relay emergency calls as needed.
“Great idea. Gives “loved ones” the phone they want/need without any dangers. My loved one sometimes calls 911 for the wrong reasons and this service has been truly life changing for me. I was not comfortable with taking away phone as she has to be able to reach me. Couldn’t take the chance of making false 911 calls. Perfect solution!”

Keep an eye on calling history
Many caregivers feel stress and uncertainty about their loved one’s daily activities. They worry that mom or dad will get confused about important issues such as calls from the bank or the doctors office. Without teleCalm, caregivers can’t be certain that only good calls get through and all bad calls get blocked.
Our Caregiver service customers use an app to reduce stress and worry. This caregiver app shows the history of all attempted calls and indicates whether each call was allowed or blocked. Some customers monitor call history for assurance that bad calls are blocked. Some customers check call history to assess their loved one’s overall mental and physical health. Other customers check call history to make sure that doctors office messages aren’t lost.
Customers with teleCalm Caregiver service can monitor their loved one’s calling history with our caregiver app.
“To be able to monitor and screen phone calls for our loved one in assisted living as she struggles with dementia has been life-changing. We recommend your service to anyone we can! Thank you!”
