What your team can monitor.
Door and motion sensors show changes in a person’s routine. Call buttons let them ask for help. No cameras.
Help with one press
A button by the bed or in the bathroom lets the person ask for help when they need it.
Notice a change in routine
If someone is usually up by seven and there’s still no movement at nine, your team can check in.
Let quiet nights stay quiet
When everything follows the person’s routine, the screen stays quiet. Your team can focus on the homes that need them.

How this estimate works
Based on the Hilliard presentation: 30 nights a month, one billable site per home, and all entered hours approved and delivered. Ohio’s paid-backup rate is $3.53 per 15 minutes per site. The $16.77 hourly wage is the Columbus median for home health aides, before employer payroll costs. Staff are rounded up to whole people; eight homes per staff member is a planning assumption, not a required staffing ratio.
The estimate uses $225 per home per month for Guardian’s sensors and software: the midpoint of the Hilliard presentation’s $150–$300 planning range, not a quote. Monthly earnings are revenue minus monitoring wages and Guardian. Backup, employer payroll costs, setup and overhead are excluded. Rates and authorized hours vary by state and individual plan.

Questions about remote support.
Does Guardian use cameras?
No. Motion, door and bed sensors report activity without recording images or sound. The setup is agreed with each person and their support team, with consent recorded in their profile.
Who responds when someone needs help?
Your awake monitoring team receives the alert and follows the person’s support plan, including contacting backup when needed. Guardian provides the sensors and software; your agency provides the staff.
Can remote support replace overnight staff?
For some people and some hours, it can be an option. That depends on the person’s needs, consent and approved support plan. Agree on monitoring and backup arrangements before changing their support.
What happens if the internet or power goes out?
Monitoring needs power and an internet connection. Connection alerts help your team spot problems, and your backup plan should cover how to check on the person and arrange in-person support during an outage.
Will our team need training?
We walk your staff through the dashboard, alerts and response records during setup, so they know what to do when a notification comes in.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of homes and the sensors each person needs. Use the calculator above for a planning estimate, then talk with us about a price for your setup.
