A daily check-in call for the parent you worry about.
GentleRing gives your aging loved one a warm, friendly phone call to remind them to take their medication, and lets you know if the call goes unanswered, they miss a dose, or they need help.
No app for them to learn. It is just a phone call.
You cannot be there for every dose.
When someone you love is living on their own, a missed medication is a real worry, and you cannot call every single day. GentleRing makes that daily call for you, warmly and reliably, and keeps you in the loop. It is built for long distance caregiving especially, when you cannot just walk into the next room to check.

How it works
Add your loved one and their medications.
Set who to call, which medications, and what time. It takes about two minutes.
GentleRing calls them, every day.
At the right time, they get a warm, natural-sounding call that reminds them by name to take each medication.
You hear about it if something is off.
If the call goes unanswered, they miss a dose, decline, or say they need help, you are notified.
Here is what a GentleRing call sounds like.
Listen to a sample reminder call:
If Margaret had said she was not feeling well, GentleRing would alert her family right away.
Made for peace of mind.
Never just a beep.
A real, warm voice that speaks to them by name, not a robotic reminder.
You stay informed.
Miss a dose or a concern comes up, and you get notified, so you are never in the dark.
It keeps trying.
No answer? GentleRing leaves a friendly voicemail and tries again, then lets it rest.
Private and secure.
Their health details are protected and only visible to the caregivers you choose.
Nothing for them to learn.
No app, no gadget, no password. If they can answer a phone, it works.
On your schedule.
You set the times and the calling window that suit their day.
Simple, pay as you go.
Create your account for free and add call credits whenever you need them. You only pay for the minutes GentleRing spends on the phone, billed per call and rounded up to the nearest minute.
GentleRing currently places calls to phone numbers in Canada and the United States only.
