Always On Virtual Care
A 24/7 second set of eyes powered by Sensi AI, working alongside our caregivers.
In Partnership With Sensi
Meet Sensi: Your Virtual Care Companion
Even with the best caregiver in the home, seniors are alone for most of the day. The hours between visits — and the moments in between rooms — are where most preventable hospitalizations begin.
Always Responsive Home Care has partnered with Sensi, a virtual care companion that works in the background 24 hours a day. Sensi is a small, audio-only sensor placed in your loved one's home that watches for the events that matter — a fall, a call for help, the early signs of a urinary tract infection, a missed medication, a change in routine — and alerts our care team the moment something changes.
Combined with our experienced in-home caregivers, the result is a blended care model: human touch when someone needs to be there, and intelligent oversight every other minute of the day.
Watch
See Sensi in Under a Minute
A quick look at how the pods work, what they detect, and how alerts reach our care team.
As Easy As 1, 2, 3
How It Works
Sensi is up and running in under five minutes, and our care team takes it from there.
Pods Plugged In
Three small audio-only pods plug into standard outlets in the rooms your loved one uses most. Setup takes under five minutes — no wiring, no wearables, no cameras.
Care Need Detected
Sensi learns your loved one's normal daily rhythm for two weeks, then monitors for meaningful changes — falls, distress, infection signs, missed medication, or unusual patterns at night.
Care Team Alerted
Urgent events trigger an immediate alert by phone, text, and email. Slower-moving trends — sleep, mobility, mood — show up on our care dashboard so we can adjust the care plan before a crisis.
Always-On Assessment
What Sensi Detects
Sensi identifies more than 100 types of care insights, grouped into the categories that matter most for aging at home.
Falls and Physical Distress
Detects falls, calls for help, and signs of difficulty with everyday tasks. Critical during the hours a caregiver isn't physically in the room.
Early Infection Signs
Flags subtle indicators of urinary tract infections — increased nighttime bathroom visits, confusion, agitation — often days before family or doctors notice.
Cognitive and Emotional Changes
Picks up on changes in tone, longer pauses, agitation, and other early indicators of cognitive decline, depression, or memory issues.
Medication Management
Identifies missed doses and signs of medication confusion, helping us correct issues before they affect health.
Caregiver Quality and Match
Gives our office visibility into how the client and caregiver are getting along — so we can step in early if something isn't working.
Routine and Sleep Trends
Tracks long-term changes in sleep, mobility, and daily activity so we can adjust the care plan before things escalate.
Our Process
How We Roll Out Always On Virtual Care
From your first phone call to the first alert, our team handles the setup and the response. You don't need to learn an app.
Care Consultation
We meet with you and your loved one to understand the daily routine, the existing care plan, and the moments you worry about most. We recommend the right blend of caregiver hours and virtual coverage.
In-Home Setup
Our team places three Sensi pods in the rooms your loved one uses most and validates the install. No drilling, no wiring, no wearables — under five minutes.
Two-Week Learning Window
Sensi learns your loved one's normal baseline — when they wake, when they move, when the bathroom typically gets used — so future alerts reflect real changes, not noise.
24/7 Monitoring and Response
Our care team receives alerts and adjusts the care plan as needs change. You get a single point of contact for everything Sensi flags.
Most families have Sensi installed and active within a week of their first call to us.
Real Outcomes
Why Families Love Always On Virtual Care
Blended care delivers measurable peace of mind for the senior, the family, and the caregivers we send into the home.
Fewer Hospitalizations
Agencies using Sensi have reported up to a 22% reduction in hospitalizations by catching warning signs early.
Longer Time at Home
Spotting issues sooner means seniors stay safer at home for longer — and avoid premature moves to a facility.
Relief for Family Caregivers
Adult children stop being the first line of defense at 3 AM. Our team is alerted before you are.
Audio-Only, HIPAA Compliant
No cameras and no video. Audio is processed securely and used only to detect care events.
Holistic Care Plan
Our care coordinator uses Sensi's trends to update the care plan continuously, not just at quarterly reviews.
Aging in Place
Most seniors want to stay in the home they know. Always On Virtual Care makes that realistic for longer.
Why Us
Why Families Trust Always Responsive Home Care
Always On Virtual Care is offered as part of our standard caregiver plans and as a standalone Sensi Solo option for families who aren't ready for a caregiver yet.
Trusted Partner: We work directly with Sensi, used by more than 80% of the largest home care networks in North America.
Privacy First: Audio-only sensors, no cameras, HIPAA-compliant cloud, role-based access for our care team only.
Real People Respond: A Sensi alert always reaches a human on our care team — not a chatbot, not a dashboard. We follow up.
Blended With Hands-On Care: Sensi complements our caregivers; it doesn't replace them. You always have the option of more in-home hours when life changes.
Same-Day Activation: When a family is in crisis, we can install Sensi the same day in many cases.
Local Office, Local Response: Alerts are handled by the same New Jersey office that staffs your caregivers.
For Families Not Ready Yet
Not Ready for a Caregiver? Start with Sensi Solo.
About six in ten families wait until a crisis — a fall, a hospital stay, a missed medication — before they're ready to bring a caregiver into the home. Sensi Solo is for everyone in that gap.
Same three pods, same AI, same care team behind it. The only difference is that there isn't a caregiver in the home yet. You get 24/7 oversight, real alerts, and a coordinator who knows the situation — so when the day comes that you do need more hands-on help, we're already a step ahead.
Privacy You Can Explain to Your Parent
Most older adults don't want a camera in their bathroom or their bedroom — and they shouldn't have one. Sensi was built around that principle.
Audio only. No camera. No video. No facial recognition. Sensi senses care-related sounds and processes them in a HIPAA-compliant cloud. Conversations are not recorded for review by family members, and our team only sees the alerts and trends — not raw audio.
The system is encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by multi-factor authentication, and access is limited to the care professionals on your loved one's plan. When someone leaves our team, their access is revoked the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Always On Virtual Care?
Always On Virtual Care is a blended home care service that pairs our caregivers with Sensi, an AI-powered audio sensor placed in the client's home. Sensi monitors 24/7 for care-related events — falls, distress, early signs of a UTI, medication errors, and changes in routine — and alerts our care team in real time so we can respond before a situation becomes an emergency.
Does Sensi use cameras?
No. Sensi is audio-only. There are no cameras and no video recording. The pods detect sound events only, and audio is processed in a HIPAA-compliant cloud. We made this choice deliberately to protect dignity in private moments like the bathroom and bedroom.
How is Sensi installed?
Three small Sensi pods plug into standard wall outlets in the rooms your loved one spends the most time in — typically the bedroom, bathroom, and main living area. Setup takes under five minutes and runs over the home's existing Wi-Fi.
What does Sensi detect?
Sensi identifies over 100 types of care insights across falls, physical distress, early infection signs like UTIs, cognitive changes, medication mismanagement, mood and agitation changes, and shifts in daily routine. The system spends its first two weeks learning your loved one's normal baseline.
What is Sensi Solo?
Sensi Solo is the same audio-monitoring service offered without a hands-on caregiver. It's designed for families who aren't ready for a caregiver in the home but still want 24/7 oversight.
How much does Always On Virtual Care cost?
Pricing depends on whether you're adding Sensi to an existing caregiver plan or starting with Sensi Solo. Call us for a custom quote — our care coordinators will walk through your loved one's situation and recommend the right blend of caregiver hours and virtual coverage.

What Families Are Saying
Testimonial: We added Sensi to my mother's care plan after a fall last spring. Two months later, her caregiver noticed mom seemed a little off, and Sensi had already flagged extra nighttime bathroom trips. We caught a UTI before it sent her to the hospital — which used to happen at least twice a year. Always Responsive caught it before we did, and that's exactly what we were hoping for.
