Supporting families across Australia | No app needed | Plans from $59/month
💙 CareCob for dementia care:
Grace calls your loved one every day on their regular phone — they just answer. She checks how they are feeling, reminds them about medications, and has a warm familiar chat.You receive a daily SMS update. No technology for your parent to learn. No app. Just answer the phone.Specially designed for elderly Australians living with dementia — where routine, familiarity, and daily contact matter most.
Why Daily Contact Matters for Dementia
For someone living with dementia, routine and familiarity are not just comforting — they are therapeutic. Research consistently shows that people with dementia who have structured daily contact experience slower cognitive decline, less anxiety, and better quality of life.
The challenge for most families is providing that daily contact when they live hours away — or when work, children, and life make calling every single day impossible.
CareCob was built for exactly this situation.
Grace calls every day. At the same time. With the same warm, familiar voice. She checks how your loved one is feeling, reminds them about medications, and has a proper conversation. Then she sends you a daily update.
It is not instead of your family calls. It is there for the hours you cannot be.
How CareCob Supports Dementia Care at Home
| Feature | What Grace Does | Why It Matters for Dementia |
|---|---|---|
| Daily routine call | Calls at the same time every day — predictable, consistent | Routine reduces anxiety and confusion in people with dementia |
| Medication reminder | Asks about medications in a warm, natural way — not a clinical alert | Missed medications are the leading cause of preventable hospital admissions |
| Mood and wellbeing check | Notices changes in mood, energy, and cognitive state | Family can spot early signs of decline or health changes |
| Family SMS update | Daily message to nominated family members | Eliminates the need for multiple daily calls from worried family |
| Friendly conversation | Warm, natural chat — Grace remembers previous conversations | Social connection reduces isolation and slows cognitive decline |
| No technology required | Your parent just answers their regular phone | Eliminates the barrier of learning new technology — critical for dementia |
Funding — Can a Home Care Package Cover CareCob?
Yes. CareCob's daily phone check-in service is classified as social and independence support under the Australian Support at Home programme. It can be included in your parent's care plan.
If your parent has a confirmed dementia diagnosis, they may also be eligible for the Dementia and Cognition Supplement — additional government funding specifically for dementia-related care needs. Ask your Support at Home provider about this supplement.

Is It Time for Residential Care — or Can They Stay Home?
This is the question many families arrive at. And for most families — the answer is that staying at home is possible for longer than they expect, with the right support in place.
The people who benefit most from staying at home with CareCob support are:
- Early to mid-stage dementia — cognitive challenges but still able to have conversations and recognise familiar voices
- People who live alone or whose primary carer is not available every day
- Families living interstate or far away who cannot check in daily themselves
- People who are anxious, resistant to strangers, or distressed by change — where familiarity matters most
