What Our Happy Customers Are Saying
"My mother says that Claris Companion is like having a friend and company in the house. As soon as she comes in she checks it, looks at the pictures and sends a message to the grandkids about what she did and where she is/was going. The look on her face and the smile is priceless. SHE LOVES IT and it makes her day very special!"

"I LOVE the Claris Companion! I’ve been telling everyone about it and giving demos to my friends with elderly parents. It has improved my mom’s quality of life because she feels more in touch with her family and friends. I can’t say enough good things."

"Claris Companion is working so well for my grandmother. Thank you! Your product helps change perspective towards technology, keep international families in touch, and reduce stress on primary caregivers and people living abroad. I have witnessed all four of these aspects in as many weeks."

"Wonderful Customer Service and a Fantastic Product! I highly recommend Claris Companion! I purchased the Claris Companion for my 92 year old aunt who lives out of state in a convalescent home. She absolutely loves the tablet, and enjoys playing Solitaire, watching the news, receiving emails and photos, and Zooming with family members. Claris Companion has been a real game changer for our family. I highly recommend it!"

"My mother had no experience with with computers, cell phones or e-mail. When we purchased the Claris Companion for her over five years ago, we were unsure if she would use it. Well, it’s been an amazing experience for her and everyone who now can interact with her via txt and e-mail. It has truly changed her life and has made a positive impact on all of us! Support and customer service is amazing. They get back to us within hours of asking a question and always are very patient with my mother when they need to directly interact with her.Truly worth the monthly subscription price and in my opinion, best device for seniors on the market."

"I've used Claris Companion for BOTH my mother (83) and father-in-law (91) for about 3 years. They LOVE their Companion tablets. Mom uses her tablet mostly for messaging, video calling and photos. Her caregivers at her nursing home use it to talk with us when mom needs help. My father-in-law is very independent and uses his tablet for all sorts of activities like web browsing, streaming apps, reading the news and video calling. We did compare the tablet to other similar products but really glad we chose Claris. Customer service is always responsive and helpful."

Claris Companion Tablet Features
Choose from any of the features below and simply enable or disable them as needed.
Video Call
Speak face-to-face with your loved one using Companion’s video chat. Unlike other video calling applications, Claris Companion is private, secure, and incredibly easy to use. Seniors using Claris Companion can connect to family using any device including laptops, Android smartphones or tablets, and iPhones or iPads.
Because your loved one’s Companion tablet is always on, they will always be alerted to an incoming call and only need to touch the large “Answer” button, or they can video call to family by selecting from a list of selected contacts.
Using Claris Companion’s secure Auto-Answer feature, you can see your loved one at any time and make sure they’re okay even if they can’t get to the tablet.
Also integrated with Zoom, Webex, Meet, Teams, and GoToMeeting.
Messages
Send email, text, app or web console messages directly to Claris Companion (a private email address and text message number is provided by us). Regardless of how family sends the message, the message appears exactly the same way to your loved one to avoid any confusion. Seniors are notified immediately and messages appear in large easy-to-read text. They can also reply or write new messages using the on-screen keyboard, voice-to-text recognition, or external bluetooth keyboard (not included).
Video Album
Family videos are an easy and wonderful way for you to engage your loved one socially as well as provide valuable care information. Anyone can upload videos of any format to Claris Companion from anywhere. New videos are automatically displayed on the screen and are stored in their personal video album to enjoy at any time.
Photo Album
Email (or upload) digital photos to your loved one’s Companion from anywhere. New photos are automatically displayed on the screen and are stored in their personal photo album to enjoy at any time. When not in use, Companion can be set to display photos in slideshow mode, just like a digital picture frame.
Games
Seniors love playing the interactive games on their Claris Companion including Solitaire, Tetris, Word Stacks, Candy Crush, NYT Crossword, and Sudoku. You can also choose from 1000s of games on from the Google Play Store to be available to your loved on.
News
Your loved one can keep up with the latest online news by providing them access to various news websites. Claris Companion is pre-configured with CNN, NY Times, CNBC, Fox, Google News and more.
Websites
You can remotely configure access to any website so your loved one can get information on local services and keep up-to-date with news from around the world. Each website is accessible on Companion by touching a large button that you can name, examples include the Weather, Shopping, Banking, Games, Google, etc…
Weather
Your loved one will have one touch access to local hourly, daily, and 7 day weather forecasts.
Medication Reminders
Medication compliance is critical to helping keep seniors safe at home and out of hospital. Claris Companion can be configured to remind seniors when to take their medications or perform other health care related treatments such as glucose testing. Alerts can be sent to family and care providers if reminders are missed.
Calendar Reminders
Schedule calendar event notifications remotely. Claris Companion will automatically alert your loved one to important activities such as appointments, visits, social engagements, birthdays…
Q & A
Without intruding, get answers to simple questions by scheduling surveys. With the touch of one button, your loved one can respond Yes, Maybe or No to any question you configure. For users with mild dementia, Alzheimer’s or memory loss, questions can be scheduled in advance and repeated daily so you can easily keep track of their well-being and compliance with daily routine.
Alerts
Claris Companion automatically generates alerts if anything is out of the ordinary such as missed medications, treatments, or check-ins. Alerts can be sent as emails, text messages or mobile phone app notifications, and tailored for specific family members or home care workers to follow-up before an adverse event occurs. Alerts are easy way to keep track of your loved one and make sure that they’re okay.
Call Me
Many seniors recognize that loved ones lead busy lives and don’t want to disturb them even though they wished “you’d call more often”. With a touch of the “Call Me” button an email or text message can be sent to loved ones asking them to call when they get a chance. As a result, isolated seniors can reach out to family and friends without feeling like they’re being intrusive.
Wellness Survey
Daily wellness surveys can be scheduled that kindly ask the senior how they are feeling. With the touch of a button (better/same/worse), wellness trends can be established over time and alerts can be sent to family and caregivers.
Check In
In the morning, seniors can press the “check-in” button to send an email or text message to loved ones letting them know they’re okay. If the check-in button is not pressed, after a configurable amount of time an alert will be generated and sent to family or caregivers notifying them that the check-in was missed.
Exercises
Daily exercise has been proven to improve the physical and mental well-being of seniors. Claris Companion offers one-touch exercise videos specifically developed for seniors at home.
