one to live independently and give you peace of mind.

Insight-Network works with Lifstyles Services and CloseBy Network to bring this monitoring service to you.

Easy To Use And Unobtrusive

This system does not require the elderly to interact with new and unfamiliar technology.  Mom and Dad don't have to learn anything new or change their behavior and you get the information when and where you want it, in the way that's best for your lifestyle: via the internet, email or text messaging.

Monitored Only By Trusted Caregivers

Caregivers can control who in the care network see the information, what each one sees and how they receive the alerts.  They can even choose or make the information unavailable to their dealer and CloseBy Network support personnel. For example, the primary caregiver or care manager may have access to all system information, but a helping neighbor would only receive an email or text notification if an exterior door was left open or the stove was on too long.
