OneLoop Careby OneLoop

For families with a parent at home

Hiring a caregiver? Know what really happens when you're not there.

OneLoop Care puts one button by your parent's bed. They say what they need in their own words, the caregiver on shift is called right away, and your family gets a record of every request: what was asked, who came, how long it took and what was done.

We'll reach out within one business day to walk you through setup and pricing. How we use your details.

Doesn't add up. 17 minutes from "on my way" to "I'm here." The note says "right away."

What families tell each other

If you've hired help for a parent, you've probably lived one of these.

We read through years of posts from families and caregivers on public caregiving forums. The same few stories come up again and again, and almost every one ends the same way: two people remember it differently, and nobody wrote anything down. Here are four, in our words.

A woman in her kitchen in the evening, reading an update on her phone.
"The agency said she left at 7:55. I was on the phone with them at 7:55. Dad was alone in bed, wet and scared."

With the record: the caregiver ends her shift on her phone, and that time is the record. Anything Dad asks for after that comes straight to you.

"Day shift left early and night shift came late. Dad was alone for four hours on a holiday, and nobody told us."

With the record: shifts start and end on the record. If he presses the button and nobody is on shift, you get the text and the call.

"They tell me they check on him every two hours. I have no way of knowing if anyone actually does."

With the record: every request, who answered and how long it took. After each visit his button asks him whether someone came, and keeps his answer.

"Mom told everyone the aide stole her ring. We found it in her slipper a week later. We almost let a good aide go."

With the record: it can't find a ring. It can show a month of that aide answering every call in a few minutes, and Mom saying "yes, she helped me" each time.

How it works

One button. The right person. A record you can trust.

1

Press and say it

One big gold button on a small tablet by the bed. "I need help getting up." "Could I have some water?" No menus and no typing, just their own words.

2

The right person comes

It answers the moment they press, and handles simple things on the spot. When a person is needed, the caregiver on shift gets it on their phone and taps through: got it, on my way, I'm here, done. Then they leave a short voice note of what they did. If nobody answers in a few minutes, it calls them, then you.

3

You see all of it

Every request and how it was answered, caregiver by caregiver, plus a weekly summary. Anything that doesn't line up gets flagged: a slow arrival with a "right away" note, a "done" with no note, or your parent saying nobody came.

What it looks like

A button by the bed. A text on the caregiver's phone. A record for you.

An older woman in bed at night reaching for a tablet on her nightstand that shows one large gold button.
By the bed. A small Wi-Fi tablet that shows one big button. We set it up and send it, and you lease it with the service.
On the caregiver's phone. A text with a link, no app to install. Each tap is timed when it happens.
On yours. If nobody is on shift or nobody answers, it comes to you, with his own words.

The record

When the stories don't match, the record settles it.

  • Their request is kept in their own voice. Play it back any time.
  • Every step is timed by our system when it happens, not typed in later.
  • The caregiver's note sits next to the request, and mismatches are flagged.
  • Nothing gets quietly changed. Corrections are added; the original stays.
  • After a visit, it checks back with your parent: did someone come?

Choosing a caregiver or agency?

Interviews show you how someone presents. The first weeks show you how they work.

Start those first weeks on OneLoop Care. You'll know, with a record and not a hunch, who answers quickly, who follows through and who doesn't. Use it with caregivers you hire yourself or through an agency. Each one just needs a phone that gets texts.

The scorecard

Great caregivers stand out. So does the other kind.

Every request adds to each caregiver's scorecard: how fast they answer, whether they leave a note, and whether your parent says the help actually came. You can watch it live, and you can watch the trend over weeks and months.

Typical wait by week: getting slower

Good caregivers finally get credit for the work nobody saw, and a scorecard they can show the next family. The ones who coast don't last long.

Run a care home or group home?

Every resident gets a button. You get a record of every shift.

Built for small residential care homes. Each resident's room gets the button. Whoever is on shift gets the requests on their phone, and you see who answered, how fast, and what was done, by staff member and by shift.

  • Know which staff carry the shift and which don't, from a record instead of a hunch.
  • When a family raises a concern, you have a timed record with the resident's own words.
  • New hires' first weeks are visible, so problems surface before they become complaints.
  • Families get their own view, so they call you less and trust you more.

Fair to caregivers

Good caregivers want a record too.

A confused moment or a mistaken memory can cost a good caregiver their job. The record shows what was asked and what they actually did, so the people doing the work well get the credit for it.

A caregiver in navy scrubs walks into a bedroom where an older man sits on the edge of his bed, looking up with relief.

Dignity and privacy

  • Your parent agrees first. Nothing is set up behind their back.
  • You choose which family members see what. Caregivers see only the requests sent to them, never the full history.
  • We don't sell your information. OneLoop's privacy policy applies.

Questions families ask

What equipment do we need?

Just Wi-Fi at your parent's home. We send a small tablet that's already set up as the button, and you lease it as part of the service. A dedicated speaker and a wearable button come later, and pilot families get the first look.

What does it cost?

One monthly price that covers the tablet lease and the service. We'll go over it on our first call, before anything is set up, so you can decide with the full picture.

Does it work with an agency's caregivers?

Yes. It works with caregivers you hire directly or through an agency. Each caregiver needs a phone that can get texts. There's no app for them to install.

What if my parent has memory problems?

That's when a record helps most. Their request is saved in their own voice and it checks back with them after each visit, so nobody has to rely on memory, theirs or the caregiver's.

Is this a medical alert system?

No. It doesn't replace a medical alert pendant or 911. It's for everyday needs: getting up, the bathroom, a meal, a drink, a little company.

What happens after I sign up?

You'll get a confirmation email right away. Within one business day someone from OneLoop reaches out to learn about your parent and your caregivers. If it's a fit, we send the button tablet, set it up with you, add your caregivers, and you start seeing the record.
