Hi, my name is Lisa and I want to share with you how RUOK changed my life and helped me take care of my elderly mother who lives alone.

My mother is 75 years old and suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure. She lives in a small town in another state, while I live in a big city with my husband and two kids. I used to call her every day to check on her, but sometimes she wouldn’t answer the phone, or she would forget to take her medication. I was always worried about her safety and well-being, especially during the pandemic.

One day, I heard about RUOK from a friend who was using it for her father who had Alzheimer’s. She told me how RUOK was a WhatsApp chatbot that sent daily wellness check-in messages and medication reminders to her father and notified her every time he checked in or missed a check-in. She said it was easy to use, affordable, and gave her peace of mind.

I decided to give it a try and helped my mother sign up for RUOK Remote Membership. I added myself to her account and customized her preferences and settings. I chose the time and frequency of the check-in messages, the type of questions she wanted to answer, and the emergency contacts she wanted to notify in case of no response.

The next day, RUOK sent my mother a friendly message on WhatsApp, asking her how she was feeling and if she needed any assistance. She replied with “I’m fine” and an emoji. I got a notification on my phone that she had checked in. I felt relieved and happy.

Since then, RUOK has been checking on my mother every day and reminding her to take her medication. She likes chatting with RUOK and sometimes shares her responses and reminders with me. She says it makes her feel cared for and less lonely. I also get notified if she doesn’t reply within a certain time frame, so I can contact her or send help if needed.

Thanks to RUOK, I don’t have to worry about my mother being alone or isolated. I have a chatbot that checks on her every day and that can alert me in case of an emergency. The RUOK team made the registration effortless, and I love that I save money on phone bills. RUOK is more than just a chatbot. It’s a companion that cares about my mother and me.

If you have loved ones who live far away from you and you want to stay connected with them and make sure they are doing okay, no matter the distance or situation, I highly recommend you try RUOK Remote Membership. It will change your life and theirs for the better.
