Bring Your Own Tablet!
While family members simply download our free mobile app for iPhones and Android phones, seniors need an Android tablet.
Already have an Android tablet? Great! We won't make you buy anything special, BUT we do have some recommendations so that your senior gets the best performance out of Family Hotline
The Hotline Team
Our co-founders designed Family Hotline for their mother and grandmother Donna, while she lived in a Senior Care Facility. After her husband passed and as her Alzheimer's became worse, she became less able to connect with her family members. John's concept for Family Hotline became a reality when he teamed up with Preston, and the first real-world test of a Family Hotline video call took place with Donna the day before she passed.
