Pick Betsy if…
- You want her asked about the drive to Reno, and tomorrow’s call to start in Winnemucca.
- You’d like ten minutes with Mom doing most of the talking. Betsy talks about a third of the time.
- You want the same voice from the same local number, forever, saved in her phone as Betsy.
- You want her talk to stay hers, except a fall, an illness or someone after her money, which you hear the same day.
- You’d like one story on Sunday that gives you something to ask her.
What happens after the one question?
“A quick hello and one simple question”
Senior Call home page
There is a second question, and a third, when the caller wants to know what happened next. Betsy asks what Mom did, not how she feels. A call sounds like this.
Hi Margaret. You got as far as Winnemucca yesterday.
So I did. A man at the gas station drew us a map on a paper bag.
Did Harold use it?
Harold put it in the glove box and drove the other way.
Were you speaking by then?
Not until Reno.
I want to hear about Reno. Same time tomorrow?
Same time tomorrow.
Nothing has to fit in one sitting, and nothing has to be said twice. Betsy talks about a third of the time, and the rest is Mom’s. Things come up in a talk like that: the stairs, the dizzy spell, the man who keeps ringing about her bank. If she mentions a fall, an illness or someone after her money, you hear the same day, in her own words.
What does $2 a day buy?
About five hours a month of somebody asking about her life: thirty calls of about ten minutes each, at the hour she picks, any time from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. her time. $2 a day, billed $60 a month, is one price, and everything is inside it. The memory of every call. Her own calls to Betsy, any time, at the same number. One text on Sunday, with one line and one story. Word the same day of a fall, an illness or someone after her money. There is one plan, so every mother gets the same voice and the same memory.
Ten minutes a day, and she never has to repeat herself.
No device, no setup fee, no contract, and if the first week doesn’t make Mom’s day, you pay nothing. Betsy vs ElderVoice and Betsy vs AllsWell cover two more calls from a computer voice, and what Betsy is has the whole picture.

Questions people ask
What makes Betsy different from Senior Call?
About ten minutes a day on Mom’s life, with Betsy talking a third of the time. She remembers every conversation, so each call starts where the last one ended. The same voice calls from the same local number, forever.
Does Betsy work on a landline?
Yes. Any phone that rings works, including a landline or a flip phone. There is nothing to install, charge or learn.
Does Betsy remember what Mom told her?
Yes, every conversation. The drive to Reno gets as far as Winnemucca on Tuesday and picks up there on Wednesday.
Will Betsy ever ask for money?
Never, not for anything. She says so on the first call. If a caller claiming to be Betsy asks for money, it is not Betsy.
