Seamlessly connect with an independent elderly parent
Introducing the Helping Mum App – your go-to solution for navigating the complexities of caring for aging parents! We recognize that as our loved ones age and potentially live alone, it can be a source of stress for both them and us, the caregivers.
Loneliness becomes a significant factor impacting mental and physical health as our social circles change with age. We believe in upholding the comfort of home, surrounded by a lifetime of memories and cherished possessions, to preserve dignity and foster a sense of independence. Traditional technology, often geared toward tech-savvy millennials, can make this challenging, sometimes leading parents to move into care homes prematurely.
The convenience and dependability of auto answering video calls
Share any moment with your loved one directly from your phone
The Helping Mum App is crafted to tackle common issues like unwanted telemarketing calls, PIN code troubles, and battery concerns that contribute to a sense of disconnection for the elderly. Born from three years of dedicated effort while caring for our own mum, our app stems from personal experience and the realization of its potential to positively impact the lives of those facing similar challenges.
With the Helping Mum App, you can alleviate stress by reliably staying in touch with your parent. Send photos, initiate instant auto-answering video calls, and, most importantly, make your mum or dad feel seamlessly connected to your everyday life. Join us in fostering a supportive and connected community for both caregivers and their aging parents!
In 2021, 3.3 million people aged 65 years and over were living alone in England and Wales, 30.1 % of the older population.
