Know they’re having a good day, without having to ask.

Bondnow turns a tablet or phone your parents already own into a way for the whole family to support them from wherever you are: calls that answer themselves, photos arriving through the day, their radio on at the right time, a reminder in a familiar voice. Nothing for them to learn. Nothing for you to buy. And nothing that turns their home into something to be watched.

New: BondNow Care, fall alerts inside BondNow

If someone may have fallen, the right people know straight away, and their BondNow screen answers by itself so you can talk to them while help is on the way. A wristband that looks like a watch, small sensors, and no cameras. Choose your waiting list:

For families

My mum or dad lives on their own

Know straight away if they may have fallen, even from the other side of the world.

For care homes

I run a care home

Fall alerts for your night team, and every response recorded as evidence for CQC. Pilots in 2027.

For home care

I run a home care service

Know when a client may have fallen between visits. Your coordinator and their family are told together.

Whatever brought you here

Families find us at very different moments. Whichever one is yours, we have written about it honestly.

A parent living alone

The phone rings out more often than it used to, and you still do not really know how her day has been.

Home from hospital

The discharge was quick, and the hours between care visits are the ones that keep you awake.

After a dementia diagnosis

Technology has quietly become impossible, and you are trying to protect the relationship, not manage a condition.

Moving into a care home

The staff are kind and you still feel shut out of her ordinary days. Monthly reports are not a relationship.

Family living abroad

Timezones turn every call into an event, and your children are growing up not really knowing their grandmother.

None of these exactly

That is fine. The product is the same whichever door you came through.

A day with Bondnow

Not an app to open or a password to remember just a day where she never has to feel alone, and you never have to wonder if she’s okay.

Morning

She doesn’t wake up to an empty room

For her, the day doesn’t start in silence there’s already company there before she’s properly awake. For you, the guilty first-thing check-in call isn’t needed; her morning has already begun well, without you.

Through the day

Remembered, without you having to be the one reminding her

For her, it’s a gentle voice at the right moment not a call from a worried daughter double-checking she hasn’t forgotten again. For you, you’re not having to remember everything yourself no notes stuck to her fridge, no keeping track of which medicine is due when.

Evening

You can reach her the moment you think of her

For her, there’s no phone to find under a cushion, no rushing to answer before it stops ringing you’re just there. For you, you can call whenever she crosses your mind, any time of day, and know it’ll actually reach her not ring out again.

She heard her daughter’s name. She looked up. The call connected. She pressed nothing.

Everything it does. Nothing it asks of them.

One tablet in their room, one they already have, and one app on your phone. Everything below happens without your relative doing anything at all.

Calls that answer themselves

Your name is announced out loud through the device, so they know who is calling before they even look up. The call then connects on its own within ten seconds. They press nothing, which is why it still works when a phone no longer does.

Works with: dementia, tremor, arthritis, limited mobility, low vision.

Memories, all day

Photos and videos shared by anyone in the circle appear on the screen automatically and keep playing between calls. A living frame of everyone who loves them.

How: Share from the app. It appears in seconds. No limit on how many people join.

Their station, on time

Any station, any language, anywhere in the world. Play it now, or schedule a favourite to start on its own. Their local station every morning, without a button.

How: A gentle chime, then it plays. It never interrupts a call.

Gentle reminders

A spoken nudge at the right moment. A tablet to take, an appointment, a daughter visiting at four. Set from your phone, wherever you are.

How: Spoken out loud on their device, at the time you choose.

They can call you, too

Choose up to four people. Their faces appear at the edge of the screen, and one touch rings that person’s phone. If you want one, a red Alarm button rings the one person you trust most.

How: Switch on Two-way calling on the Manage Device screen. It is off until you do. The Alarm calls your chosen contact. It does not call 999 and it is not a monitored alarm service.
Investigation phase

Everyday rhythms

A quiet sense of how their days are going, so you feel connected to their week rather than only to the moments you happen to catch.

Status: Investigation phase. We are still working out whether and how to build this well. It would be gentle and non-medical, never a diagnosis.

How Bondnow compares

Most things a family can buy help either the older person or the people around them. Very few do both, and almost nothing brings the care team in too.

Designed for everyone involved in care

Families

  • Stop the anxious evening call. You have already seen their day.
  • Invite everyone. Each person joins on their own phone and calls whenever they like.
  • Grandchildren keep a real relationship, without it having to be an event.
  • The guilt of not being there fades. The connection never does.

Care Homes

  • Residents get their own connection to family, not a shared floor phone.
  • Your carers do nothing. Families run it themselves.
  • Evidence of resident engagement for the Caring and Responsive domains.
  • Families who can reach their relative stop ringing your team.

Home Care Agencies

  • Your carers cover the visits. Bondnow covers the hours in between.
  • Reassurance between visits that adds no task for your team.
  • Clients feel less isolated. Families trust you more.
  • A service story no visits-only agency can tell.

No setup for them. One minute for you.

1

Start on your own phone

Download Bondnow and create your account. A username and password for your loved one is created at the same time, so they never need an email address of their own.

2

Set up their tablet

Install Bondnow on a tablet they already have, Android or iPad, and sign in with those details. That is the whole setup. On an iPad a few hands-free features are limited, which the FAQ explains.

3

Make the first call

Invite whoever you like into the circle, each on their own phone. Then call. It answers itself, with nothing for them to press.

Real families. Real connection.

Not a projection or a pilot forecast. This is what has actually happened on Bondnow so far.

Sade

Filip

Figures from January 2025 to date. We publish what we have measured, and nothing else.

I have been using Bondnow to keep in touch with my grandma and it’s genuinely helped me be more consistent about checking in. The app is straightforward and the experience feels smooth overall.

N

Novishka

Living in a country away from grandparents makes it hard to communicate with them and share latest news. With Bond Now it makes it easy for my grandparents to see all the videos and photos I share without having to touch anything and the same goes for video calls that get automatically accepted. I can now do video calls whenever I want to show grandparents my son! Highly recommend this app.

F

Filip Stefanec

Thanks to bond now I can now check in on my mum from my work. The auto connection mode is really helpful as my mum is 92 years old and she can hardly hear. Feel very much relief now.

R

Ramma manoj

As early adopter, we can see the possibilities ahead. It would be ideal as part of life in a nursing home too, so that residents and their families can regularly and easily be in touch.

RH

Ruth Harrison-Swift

It began not as a business idea, but as a personal need.

When my father started finding it harder to stay in touch, I realised how many families face the same quiet struggle every day. Existing solutions were either too complex or too expensive. None of them felt made for him.

That experience became Bondnow.

We believe staying connected should never feel like hard work, especially for the people who need it most. Everyone deserves to feel close to the people they love, regardless of how comfortable they are with technology.

Bondnow was built so that nobody has to feel far away from the people who matter most, because connection matters just as much as care.
