Lifeguard is the missing piece in the senior care puzzle.
How do we know? Our in-house team has decades of combined experience in this industry. We’ve designed a unique hybrid service to fill the gaps and ease the most common challenges care professionals face. No additional caregivers required.
Pre-Home Care Support
We can help older adults live independently at home for longer before they need traditional home care or care management—while reducing stress and worry for their families.
Enhanced Traditional Care
We can augment traditional home care and care management with 24/7 in-home monitoring and urgent response support, plus Wellness Insights from a local Lifeguard RN.
Tired of saying no to short shifts?
When you partner with Lifeguard, you can say yes to more clients who need a little support to live independently but aren’t yet ready for caregivers. You’ll also be able to extend coverage for your current clients, adding our reliable 24/7 solution to your service, and get access to our Wellness Insights.
We can help you.
Do you have prospective clients who live alone and have experienced a trigger event like a fall, medical diagnosis, or death of a spouse? If you have new clients with safety worries or emerging health concerns who want support but don’t yet need caregivers, we can help.
Lifeguard’s seamless, pre-home care service allows you to:
- Offer light-care prospects a reliable solution, managed by a professional RN
- Avoid staffing short shifts, handling after-hours events, and experiencing service failures
- Share valuable wellness insights with your clients

Your Lifeguard RN
A Lifeguard RN partners with your team, your clients, and their families to support healthier, longer independent living at home. We meet the client, then design a personalized Wellness Plan. Our Lifeguard does weekly client check-ins, building a close relationship, and shares insights with the family to help them make informed decisions and navigate health and wellness services.
Lifeguard’s Lookout System
Lifeguard’s Lookout System, discreet smart sensors powered by AI monitoring, learns a client’s lifestyle patterns in their home, gets smarter over time, and detects changes in behavior that indicate a potential health or wellness problem. If a fall or other emergency is detected, an automatic alert goes to our urgent response team, the trusted care circle, and EMS if necessary.
Monthly Wellness Reports
Using our real-time 24/7 data, we develop Wellness Insights that agencies, clients, and families can use for better care planning. Every month, our clients receive a Wellness Report with details on sleep quality, bathroom use, mobility patterns, and more. All data are secure and private. In the event of an emergency, we provide an Incident Report to keep care teams and families informed.
Do you see the future of care at home?
Join us! We’re on a mission to partner with just a few of the best agencies and geriatric care managers in the San Francisco Bay Area and South Florida. If you share our vision for extending independent living at home and providing a more efficient way to serve more older adults in your community, let’s work together.
