For someone living with dementia
The same story, fifty times, and a companion who's glad every time
Patience with repetition isn't something we work around. It's one of the main things we built. Their companion is delighted to hear about the coach trip to Scarborough every single day, asks the questions that let them tell it well, and never once says 'you've told me that'. It works alongside their carers, their GP and their pendant alarm, never instead of them.
Nothing starts until they say yes themselves. We ring you first, then them. Family places aren’t open yet. Nothing is paid, nothing is set up, and nobody is rung until we ring you first.
Hear Elsie: 45 seconds
A real chinwag between Elsie and Doris. Elsie says plainly she’s a computer, and remembers the trifle.
Repetition is welcome
The same story is a good story. Their companion follows it, enjoys it, and lets them be the one who knows things.
A steady daily anchor
Same voice, same time, same warmth. For many people living with dementia the routine is the comfort.
Changes get noticed
New confusion that isn't like them, not eating, a low patch: passed to you quietly, the same day, in their words. You decide what it means; we don't diagnose.
“I should say, I’m a computer, not a person, but I’m told I’m a very good listener.”
The first thing Elsie ever says. Honest by design, so they always know.
Have a chinwag with Elsie
Two minutes, typed. She’ll ask about your mum or dad and remember what you say. Nothing you type is kept.
Elsie:Hello, love. I'm Elsie. I should say straight off, I'm a computer, not a person. Who is it you've got in mind for a daily chinwag?
She’s a computer and says so. Please don’t type phone numbers or addresses. She doesn’t need them and won’t keep them.

The questions families ask first
Can they consent?
That's the first question we ask, and we take it seriously. On their welcome call the companion says plainly it's a computer and asks whether they'd like it. If we can't be sure they understand what they're agreeing to, we stop and tell you: a person decides, never the software. Our capacity policy is written down; ask and we will send it to you.
Is this medical care?
No. It's companionship. It never gives medical advice and it isn't a monitoring device. It notices what's said on a call, which is exactly why a daily chat catches what a weekly visit can't.
