How Betsy works for a mother with only a landline, a father who lives alone, a parent who won’t use a smartphone, a family spread across the country, and more.
Betsy for a mother who only has a landline
Betsy calls the phone on Mom’s kitchen wall every day at the hour she picks. Betsy is a computer voice who talks for about ten minutes and remembers every conversation. No smartphone, nothing to install. If Mom mentions a fall, an illness or someone after her money, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a father who lives alone
Dad answers “fine” before you finish asking. Betsy, a computer voice, calls him every day at the hour he picks and asks about the Ford he should never have sold. She remembers every conversation, and if he mentions a fall, an illness or someone after his money, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a parent who won't use a smartphone
The smartphone you gave Mom is in the kitchen drawer, and Betsy doesn’t need it. A computer voice calls the phone she does answer, every day, and remembers every conversation. Nothing to install or learn. If she mentions a fall, an illness or someone after her money, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a family spread across the country
Your sister is in Phoenix, your brother is in Boston, and Mom’s phone rings every day anyway. Betsy, a computer voice, calls at the hour she picks, remembers every conversation, and tells the family the same day if she mentions a fall, an illness or someone after her money. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a mother who keeps getting scam calls
The man about the Medicare card wants Mom to tell nobody. Betsy, a computer voice who calls every day and never asks for money, is somebody to tell, and now and then she asks, “Anybody call you about money this week?” If she mentions someone after her money, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for the first weeks home after a hospital stay
You took the week off, the week is over, and Mom is home with a stack of discharge papers. Betsy, a computer voice, calls every day at the hour she picks and talks for about ten minutes. If she mentions a fall, an injury or an illness, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a mother who has everything
Give her a phone that rings. Every day at the hour she picks, Betsy, a computer voice, calls and asks about the blue bowl, the Buick and the worst kid she ever taught, and remembers every answer. It can’t go in a drawer, and one word stops it. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
Betsy for a parent who says she's fine
When Mom says she’s fine, stop asking how she is. Betsy, a computer voice, calls every day at the hour she picks and asks what the plumber charged. She remembers every conversation, and if a fall, an illness or someone after her money comes up, you hear the same day. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.
