Companionship and aged care at home in Hobart
Hobart winters are long, the streets are steep, and plenty of older locals have watched their children settle on the mainland. On your own under kunanyi/Mount Wellington, a whole day can pass without the phone ringing once. CareCob changes that. Grace, our AI companion, calls each day for a proper chat, offers gentle medication reminders, keeps a quiet eye on how you're going, and lets the family know you're alright — all on the phone you've always used, with nothing new to learn.

What a day with Grace looks like
The daily call
A relaxed chat at a time that suits you — the garden, the grandkids, the footy, the news, whatever you feel like talking about.
A hand with the little things
If you ask her to, Grace reminds you about your tablets or an appointment — gently, and never like a nag.
Noticing when something's off
If you sound unwell or a bit flat, or a call goes unanswered, the right people can be quietly let know.
Family kept in the picture
A short daily update lands with the family — handy when they're over in Melbourne or further afield.

From your own home to an aged care village — one familiar voice
Grace is a care companion first — a warm daily presence for someone still living in their own Hobart home. But that company matters just as much later on. If the day comes to move into an aged care facility or an aged care village, CareCob comes too: the same care companion keeps calling, and the facility's team gets the wellbeing picture they need. One familiar voice, wherever home turns out to be — so a move feels a little less daunting for everyone.
Keeping an older Hobartian company, from near or far
If your family is across the river or across Bass Strait, CareCob fills the gap between your visits and calls. Your parent gets daily company and gentle reminders; you get a clear sense of how they're doing without ringing around every day. It suits older Hobartians living independently and families caring from a distance, and dementia care at home is supported too, with extra-simple, familiar daily calls.
Daily resident check-ins, no extra load on staff
For aged care facilities, home-care providers and retirement villages around Hobart, CareCob phones every resident each day — no app or device for them to manage. Your care team gets a full resident dashboard with real-time alerts for missed check-ins or signs of distress, and automated wellness reports for care planning and compliance. Families receive their own daily updates, which eases the load on the front desk. Built around the Aged Care Quality Standards, and it scales from a handful of residents to 500+.
It may be covered by your Home Care Package
CareCob is an approved technology service that can be included in a Home Care Package at Levels 2, 3 and 4 — often at no extra out-of-pocket cost, subject to your provider's care plan. If you already have a package, it's a quick chat with your provider to add CareCob. Want to see the cost either way? Our pricing page lays it out simply.
