Bondnow is an everyday care companion for an older person living independently, at home or in care. It installs on a tablet they already have. Calls answer themselves, family photos appear all day, and their station plays on time. There is nothing for them to press, remember, or fail at.
Free for a month · then £9.90 a month or £99 a year · no card needed
Families come to us at very different moments, and what worries you depends entirely on which one you are in. Pick the one closest to your situation.
She manages perfectly well, but she is on her own now and the phone rings out more often than it used to. You ring twice a day and still do not really know how she is.
The discharge was quick, a care package has started, and the hours between visits are the ones that keep you awake. None of this was planned.
Technology has quietly become impossible, and you are trying to protect the relationship rather than manage a condition.
The room is lovely and the staff are kind and you still feel shut out of her ordinary days. Monthly reports are not a relationship.
Timezones turn every call into an event, and your children are slowly growing up not really knowing their grandmother.
That is fine. The product is the same whichever door you came through, and the how it works page covers all of it in one place.
You have tried the phone, the tablet, the video app. Each one works beautifully right up until the moment it needs a button pressed, a screen unlocked, or a password remembered.
That is not her failing. It is a design that assumed dexterity, memory and confidence she may no longer have, several times a day, in front of the people she loves.
Your name is announced out loud through the device, so she knows who is calling, and the call connects on its own in about ten seconds. If she is out of the room it waits and connects when she comes back.
There is no correct action, so there is no way to get it wrong. That single decision is why Bondnow keeps working when everything else stopped.
Not an app to open or a password to remember just a day where she never has to feel alone, and you never have to wonder if she’s okay.
For her, the day doesn’t start in silence there’s already company there before she’s properly awake. For you, the guilty first-thing check-in call isn’t needed; her morning has already begun well, without you.
For her, it’s a gentle voice at the right moment not a call from a worried daughter double-checking she hasn’t forgotten again. For you, you’re not having to remember everything yourself no notes stuck to her fridge, no keeping track of which medicine is due when.
For her, there’s no phone to find under a cushion, no rushing to answer before it stops ringing you’re just there. For you, you can call whenever she crosses your mind, any time of day, and know it’ll actually reach her not ring out again.
She heard her daughter’s name. She looked up. The call connected. She pressed nothing.
Download Bondnow and create your account. A username and password for her is created at the same time, so she never needs an email address of her own.
Install Bondnow on a tablet she already has and sign in with those details. About a minute. Nobody touches a setting again after that.
Invite whoever you like, each on their own phone. No limit on how many people, or how often anyone calls.
Nothing at all. Bondnow answers every incoming call from the circle automatically. No button, no screen to tap, no password. Your name is announced out loud through the device, so they know who is calling, and then the call connects.
No. Bondnow is an app, and it goes on a tablet they already have. For the person being called we recommend an Android tablet, because Apple restricts what an app may do when the screen is locked, so on an iPad a call may not answer itself and a reminder may not play aloud. Your own phone can be anything.
It works over your loved one’s home Wi‑Fi. There is no phone line to plug in, and no separate broadband contract with us. If there is Wi‑Fi in the house, the tablet connects to it during the one-minute setup and looks after itself from then on.
Yes, and there is no limit. Everyone downloads the app on their own phone, joins the circle, and can call or share photos independently. It is one subscription however many of you there are.
Yes. That is exactly who it was designed for. Because nothing has to be pressed, tremor, arthritis, memory loss and limited mobility do not affect whether the call connects.
Yes. Bondnow handles personal data in line with UK GDPR, and our privacy policy sets out exactly what we collect and why. Only the people you invite can call or see what is shared. Nothing is public, ever.
No. Bondnow is not a monitored alarm service and not a medical device. It does not call 999 and it does not detect falls. Please keep any telecare or pendant alarm you already have.
You will know inside a month, and it will not have cost you a penny. The whole product is free for 30 days and we never take a card, so if it is not right you simply do nothing and it stops. There is nothing to return, because there is nothing to buy.
Free for a month, then £9.90 a month or £99 a year. No card to begin with, no commitment, and you can cancel any time.
