Daily Summary

The day, in a single message. Every evening.

ELLO sends you one short message every evening. How Mum or Dad's day was. What they did. How they rested. Without you having to call.

It's 8pm. You're putting the kids to bed.

Earlier today, you wondered if Mum had her lunch. Yesterday, your sister mentioned Dad slept most of the afternoon and you had no idea.

You don't want to call three times a day. You don't want a wall of footage to scroll through. You just want to know without watching, how the day went.

That's what Daily Summary is for.

One short message every evening. How the day went. What Mum did. When Dad rested. No video to scroll. No calls. Just the picture of the day, written in plain language.

How to check on an ageing parent without watching them

Most home cameras give you footage. Hours of it. To know what happened on any given day, you'd have to watch every minute. Nobody has time for that. And constant watching isn't care. It's surveillance.

Daily Summary is different. Every evening, ELLO sends you one short message that tells you how Mum or Dad's day went. Not what they did minute by minute. Not a video to scroll. Just the picture of the day, written the way a careful family member might write it.

It's the closest thing to having a thoughtful sibling living with your parent who texts you each night to say "today was a good day."

Frequently asked questions about Daily Summary

A short message. Plain language. What time Mum or Dad got up. What they did during the day, kitchen, living room, balcony. When they rested. Whether anyone visited. About the length of a long WhatsApp message. Easy to read while you're putting the kids to bed.

Yes and most evenings, that's exactly what it'll say. Mum had a quiet day. Dad watched TV. The helper came at the usual time. Knowing nothing went wrong is just as important as knowing when something did.

Yes. Add siblings, your helper, your partner, anyone who shares the care. Everyone gets the same evening message on their phone at the same time. No more group chats trying to piece together what happened. No more "did anyone check on Mum today?"

If something serious happens, a fall, a faint, smoke, an unexpected door opening, you'll get a 60-second alert right away. You don't have to wait for the evening summary. The summary is for the everyday stuff. It tells you how the day went when nothing serious happened.

That's still useful. The summary tells you Mum rested most of the day. Or Dad watched TV in the living room and didn't move much. No drama. No alerts. Just the calm of knowing how the day went — even on the quiet days. Especially on the quiet days.
