Stay close when you live far away

Kinse calls your loved one on the days and times you set at their local time. After each call, you see how they are, including which medications were taken, missed, or refused.

Kinse for long-distance family caregivers is check-in conversations and medication reminders by phone when you cannot drop by. A check-in is a phone conversation with Cora, up to 10 minutes. You set times in your loved one's local time. Works with any phone, even a landline. No app for them. You read the same short summary wherever you are. Kinse is not 911.

You open the short summary from where you are.

What happens when you live far away

  1. Their time

    You add their number and local time. Kinse calls when it is that time for them, not when it is convenient for your city.

  2. Their phone

    They answer the phone they already use. There is no app for them to download. Save the number as Cora.

  3. Your read

    After the call, you see how they are and how each medicine was answered. An unanswered call or a missed or refused medicine sends you an alert. Invite a sibling later if you want the same summary.

Essentials is $34 a month, with 3 check-ins and up to 7 medication reminder calls a week. Everyday is $44 a month, with up to 7 check-ins and 21 medication reminder calls. Family is $54 a month, with up to 7 check-ins and 28 medication reminder calls. Per person Kinse calls. Calling 6 or more people? Talk to us. See pricing

After the call

Distance does not mean guessing.

A short summary: reached or not, how the check-in went, taken, missed, refused, or unclear. A miss can alert people you name. Kinse does not send anyone to the house.

Common questions

What is a check-in?
A phone conversation with Cora on a day you set, up to 10 minutes. Cora asks one question at a time and remembers what they shared before. You get a short summary afterward.
Do I need to live nearby?
No. Kinse dials their number on the schedule you set. You read the summary from wherever you are. Visits and neighbors still matter. Kinse calls between your visits and your own calls.
Whose local time do the call times use?
Your loved one's local time. You choose the days and clock times that make sense where they live.
Does your loved one need a smartphone?
No. Works with any phone, even a landline. No app for them.
What if they do not pick up?
Kinse tries again. If the call still does not connect, people you invite can be alerted. You decide the next step. Kinse does not send help to the house.
How much is it?
You pay per person Kinse calls. Essentials is $34 a month (3 check-ins, up to 7 medication reminder calls a week). Everyday is $44 (up to 7 check-ins, 21 medication reminder calls). Family is $54 (up to 7 check-ins, 28 medication reminder calls). Yearly is two months free: $340, $440, or $540. Invitees who only read are not billed as extra people.
When do the calls start?
After you add a phone number, their local time, and a schedule, and you choose a plan. A sample on this site is not their call.
