Aging in Place: Staying Healthy by Staying Connected - with ONSCREEN
For many older adults, aging in place isn't just about staying in the comfort of their own home—it's about maintaining independence, staying socially connected, and living a fulfilling life without unnecessary limitations. ONSCREEN is here to make that vision a reality, transforming the TV you already have into a powerful senior care platform that keeps you connected, healthy, and independent.
Aging in Place—Reimagined
Imagine staying in the home you love, surrounded by familiar comforts, and knowing that seeing your family is always just a video call away. With ONSCREEN, the simple power of your TV screen connects you effortlessly to loved ones with high-quality video calls. There’s no need for complex gadgets or touchscreens—just press a button on your remote, and you can see your children and grandchildren on the biggest screen in your house.
This isn’t just about technology; it’s about making aging in place comfortable and fulfilling. ONSCREEN has reimagined how technology can support seniors without any of the intimidating barriers that often accompany new tech devices. By turning an everyday household item—your TV—into a portal for communication and engagement, we make sure that staying connected is not only easy but also enjoyable. Aging in place becomes more than just staying at home; it becomes an experience of continued growth, connection, and comfort.
Stay Connected with Loved Ones, Effortlessly
Staying in touch with family is essential for mental and emotional well-being—but smartphones and tablets aren't always the most senior-friendly solutions. ONSCREEN turns your TV into a window to the world, allowing you to easily see and speak with family members whenever you want. With automatic answering for trusted contacts, your loved ones can reach you even if you can't get to the remote in time—perfect for peace of mind.
Whether it’s a quick chat with your grandchildren after school, a scheduled catch-up with your children, or even a spontaneous call just to say hello, ONSCREEN makes connecting as natural as possible. The big TV screen means that every smile, every laugh, and every important moment is seen and heard clearly, making interactions more meaningful and fulfilling. It’s about keeping family close, no matter the distance, and making every conversation count.
