  • Welcome to the envoyatHome Assessment Tool

    In only a few minutes you'll be ready to order your envoyatHome Digital Caregiver. Each envoyatHome subscription requires a Standard Equipment Package. To enable optional features or for very large residences, additional equipment may be required. Use this simple assessment tool to help determine whether the standard equipment package is sufficient. Just answer a few questions about your care recipient, their home, and the risk behaviors for discovery and monitoring. At the end of the assessment, you'll have all the information required to place your order.
  • Internet Availability

    envoyatHome requires standard residential internet service. Wi-Fi is not required. The envoyatHome internet hub plugs into any available port on the home router. You'll want to be sure the router is accessible and has an available port.
  • Thank you for completing the pre-order assessment.

    Unfortunately we cannot provide envoyatHome Digital Caregiver services without internet.
  • Pets

    envoyatHome loves pets, but occasionally fur babies limit envoyatHome's available features. One kitty or a typical pup? Not usually a problem. 8 roaming cats or a pack of greyhounds? Please give us a call before you order.

  • Caregiver Concerns

    Let's take the guesswork out of caregiving by understanding more about your care recipient's risks.

  • Care Recipient Residence Assessment

    Now that we understand more about our care recipient, let's assess their residence and living spaces for envoyatHome equipment. Use the Care Concerns information as a guide. For example, if elopement is a concern, perhaps every exterior door should be monitored whether it's the primary entry/exit or not. For a care recipient who can't remember to eat dinner, perhaps the fridge door should be monitored. Keeping Care Concerns in mind is an important part of the process. The envoyatHome Standard Equipment Package is delivered with 1 door/contact sensor and 7 motion sensors, sufficient for a typical application. Extra features or larger homes require additional sensors. Please note that envoyatHome equipment is neither rated nor warrantied for outdoor use or in applications exposed to elements like wind, rain, humidity, heat, cold, insects, dust, dirt, or pests.
  • A Note to Caregivers

    The equipment question we get most often is "If they NEVER use that room (or door or bathroom) does it need a sensor?" The answer? It depends. If a room is truly inaccessible, for example, the door is locked and the key is offsite, then a sensor is not necessary. If a multi-use space is so small that sensor signals would overlap, then only one sensor is required. What a Caregiver should NEVER depend on? Care Recipient compliance! envoyatHome behavior data prove that "Do Not Enter" requests go unheeded almost 100% of the time. So make sure to have every staircase, every bathroom, and every usable exterior door covered, even if the Care Recipient is instructed not to use it.
  • Doors

  • Interior Spaces

    envoyatHome equipment is assigned to both rooms and spaces within a room. In an open concept layout, for example, one room may provide multiple spaces like an eating area and a lounging/reading/tv watching area. A bedroom may have a sleeping area and a sitting area. We expect different behavior in an eating area as opposed to a tv watching area, therefore we consider them different spaces even when located in the same room.
  • Exterior Spaces

    Sensors are neither rated nor warrantied for exterior applications or areas exposed to elements like wind, rain, humidity, heat, cold, insects, dust, dirt, or pests. envoyatHome does not recommend sensor placement in exterior locations.
  • Home Environment Monitoring

    The home environment is an important part of care recipient safety. envoyatHome can monitor interior temperature, notifying a caregiver, for example, if a bedroom becomes dangerously hot or cold in the middle of the night. Moisture sensors placed by a water heater or a window can notify a caregiver of a leak. envoyatHome can support a garage door sensor, monitoring whether a garage door is up/open or down/closed - an essential for a forgetful care recipient. These features are provided through optional sensors available at time of order.
  • For Very Large or Complex Home Layouts

    For very large homes or installations where the router is not centrally located, network signals can be weak or unavailable. To address this issue, envoyatHome recommends an inexpensive device called a Range Extender. A range extender is optional equipment available at time of order for an additional cost. A range extender can be ordered later, for example If signal weakness is discovered at time of installation.
  • Totals
