The problem
Most medical alert systems make families buy more complexity than safety.
Apps and call centers add friction to the worst moment.
When someone you love needs help, nobody wants app screens, customer service queues, or a phone tree. You want the family to know immediately and respond like a family.
How it works
A clear response path for the moment nobody wants to miss.
Press the button
They wear it or keep it nearby at home. When something feels wrong, they only have to do one thing.
The family gets a text
The alert goes out instantly to everyone you add, so nobody is waiting on a phone tree.
Someone moves fast
You know it is real, you know it is now, and somebody can head over or call right away.
Why Grandma Guard
Made for families who want something simpler than a medical alert sales process.
No app needed
Your loved one does not need to learn a new device.
The button is the interface for them. No touchscreen, no app tutorial to repeat every visit.
Family-wide alerts
Everyone sees the same text at the same time.
It removes the scramble of calling siblings one by one and wondering who actually knows what is happening.
Simple setup
Managed setup keeps the technical parts away from your family.
Grandma Guard is built so the family can focus on contacts, response, and testing instead of webhooks or smart-home configuration.
Built from real need
This was made for one family before it was made for anyone else.
That matters. The product exists because a family needed a better answer than “keep your phone closer.”
Built for my family
A real family problem shaped the whole product.
Someone I love needed a way to reach us fast without carrying a phone around the house. I did not want to hand them another app or sign them up for a contract with a call center. I wanted one simple button that could text the whole family instantly. That became Grandma Guard.
The goal was not to build a medical alert company. It was to make sure someone I love could reach us fast.
“This is the first alert product I could explain to my loved one in one sentence.”
“What sold me was that all three siblings got the same text immediately.”
“It feels like it was built by someone who has actually dealt with this.”
The honest comparison
$29.99 a month. No three-year contract. No 1-800 number.
Traditional medical alert systems tend to turn a simple need into a subscription maze: long agreements, setup fees, confusing packages, and customer service that feels designed to wear families down. Grandma Guard keeps the job small and clear for at-home moments: press the button, text the family, respond quickly.

Does my loved one need a smartphone?
No. Grandma Guard is designed so the person using it can press the at-home button without a smartphone or app.
What happens when the button is pressed?
Everyone on the contact list gets a text immediately so the family can respond right away.
What's the range of the button?
The Flic button connects to the Hub over Bluetooth, so range depends on the home, walls, and placement. The Hub connects to home Wi-Fi so alerts can reach family members wherever they are.
How long does the button battery last?
The Flic button battery lasts up to 3 years under normal use. The Flic app shows battery level so you always know when it needs replacing.
What if the Hub loses power?
The button will not fire if the Hub is offline, so it should stay plugged in at all times. We recommend placing it near a reliable outlet.
Does it work outside the house?
No. Grandma Guard is designed for at-home coverage around the Hub. It is not a cellular wearable and does not replace 911 or professional medical monitoring.
Can I add multiple family members to the alert?
Yes. You can add unlimited contacts so the whole family stays informed.
Is there a contract?
No. Service is month to month, and you can cancel anytime.
