Most of you know about my love for technology. I'm an Apple user as they make it so easy to share information with family and other Apple users. All three adults in my family share a calendar ... my events are in grey, my volunteer events in blue, daughter in yellow and son-in-law is red. The boys events are purple. It sure makes life more organized.
A new one for me is SnugSafety. It is a FREE app for your smartphone that will notify your emergency contact(s) if you fail to check in every day?
This is a great choice for anyone who lives alone, no matter the age. Snug will only contact them if you do not check in at the agreed upon time. They will contact YOU first (just in case you forgot). (Snug will also send you reminders so that you don’t forget… 3 hours before scheduled time, 1 hour before, 10 minutes before and 2 minutes after).
They also offer a $20/month plan where you and your contacts get phone calls instead of texts. If you miss your check-in time, a Snug dispatcher will call your cell phone to ask if you’re alright. If you do not answer, they will call your emergency contacts to ask someone to check in on you. If the dispatcher is unable to get confirmation that someone will look in on you, they will request a wellness check. This is where a local authority such as the police, fire department or emergency medical services visit your last known location or home address.
Let me know YOUR favorite app!
