Guardian for eldercare and care homes

Know your parent is okay.
Without watching the cameras all day.

A care, assisted-living, or dialysis home runs Nurby on its own cameras. Each family follows their own resident or residents, and no one else. A calm status answers the daily call, zone alerts reach you when they matter, and every other resident stays blurred.

The problem

The silence between calls is the hard part.

Families live with a quiet worry. Is my parent okay right now? Distance and short visiting hours leave that question open, and a normal camera feed would answer it by exposing every other resident in the ward.

The daily call that goes unanswered

An adult child phones to check in. No answer is not always bad, but it is always worrying. The silence between calls is where the anxiety lives.

Distance and visiting hours

Families often live far from the home. They cannot drop by, and a short visiting window does not tell them how the rest of the day went.

A ward full of other people

A care or dialysis home holds many residents. A normal camera feed exposes every one of them, which no family and no facility should accept.

How Guardian solves it

A calm status, not a ward feed.

Guardian gives each family a quiet panel for one resident. Present and settled. Out of room a while. Picked up by a recognized visitor. The reassurance a family needs, and nobody else's day on display.

What Guardian gives a family

Reassurance for one resident. Privacy for the ward.

These are the Guardian features a care home can run today. Each one follows a single resident and leaves every other resident blurred.

Presence and wellbeing checks

Each family sees a calm status for their own parent. Present and settled, or out of room a while. The answer to the daily call, without the call.

Zone and presence alerts

A push lands when a parent is recognized in a key zone, like a dialysis bay, or has not been seen in their room for a set time. You set the thresholds.

Verified visitors and pickup

Departures and visitors are checked against an approved list. A recognized arrival confirms calmly. An unrecognized one is flagged for staff.

The privacy spine

One person revealed. Everyone else stays private.

The same privacy model runs under every Guardian view. It is not a feature you switch on. It is how the system is built.

Blur everyone else
Every image is blurred so no one is identifiable. Only the one person a family is bound to is revealed.
See only your people
A family follows the people they are bound to, whether that is one resident or a few, and no one else in the building. Everyone outside that list stays blurred.
The facility grants access
Guardians never self-grant. The facility links each family, sets a tier and an expiry, and can revoke in an instant.
Every view is logged
A facility-visible audit trail records each check. Transparency is the point, not a setting you have to find.
Wellbeing signals

More than presence.

Guardian watches for the two moments families ask about most. Both run on the same local cameras, and both are honest about what they are.

Fall detection

When a resident is on the floor and stays there, Guardian raises a critical alert to family and staff within seconds. It is a best-effort signal, not a certified medical alarm, so it runs alongside your safety procedures, never instead of them.

Meal attendance

When a resident is eating during a meal, in the dining room or their own room, Guardian notes it, so a family far away knows the meal happened. It confirms that they ate, not how much.

How it works

Three steps from cameras to calm.

Guardian forks no detection or identity logic. It is a thin permission and view layer on the same Nurby engine that recognizes faces and reads plates. Every engine improvement is inherited automatically.

01
The home runs Nurby

An assisted-living, care, or dialysis home points Nurby at its own cameras. Residents are recognized on-device. Nothing leaves the building.

02
Each family is bound to one resident

The home links an adult child to a single parent, sets the approved-visitor list, an expiry, and an instant revoke. Families never grant themselves access.

03
The family follows, calmly

They get presence and zone alerts, a calm status, and a real day timeline. Every other resident in the ward stays blurred and anonymous.

Free and open source. Run it yourself today.

Guardian ships inside the open-source Nurby codebase. No paywall, no billing. Self-host the whole thing on hardware the care home controls, inside its own walls.
