Peace of Mind is One Click Away!

If you have an older parent that lives alone, you know the worries that you have that are inescapable.  Are they okay?  Have they fallen and can't get up?  Are they experiencing Covid19 symptoms?  Did something bad happen to them since you last talked to them?  You know the drill.  Having senior parents is not an easy task and comes with lots of worries.
I want to tell you about an Android app that can help provide you some solace.  The app is called A Okay and is meant for your parent or loved one to load on their phone.  It is very simple to use.  You can download the app for them from the Google Play store.  Once installed you can drag the app icon to their main home screen.  Open the app and go to the settings and enter your phone number in the space provided and then flip the slider on the times when you want them to be reminded to send you a status update.  After you save the suggestions, the app will do its thing.  At the times selected, it will sound a short alarm and send a notification to the phone to remind your parent to send you a status update.  There are 3 large icons on the main screen.  Yellow for "I'm having a great day".  White for "Just checking in, I'm Okay".  And finally, Red for "I need some help!!!".  All your parent has to do is tap the one that represents what is going on at the time, and the appropriate message is loaded into their default text app.  A tap of the send button and they are done and you now have some peace of mind.  If they want to talk to you instead, they can click the green bar at the bottom of the screen and it will load the dialer up with your phone number and they can call you in a jiffy.
This app is free and easy to use.  Here is a short demo video to show you how to use "A Okay".  Better yet, Follow this link to get A Okay from Google Play store and download the app and try it yourself.  Then you can rest easy.

Cheers!
