Tudor Oaks Home Care Adds Peace of Mind with Virtual Monitoring

For many older adults, staying safely at home requires the right mix of personal support, family communication, and reliable oversight. In this segment of the Trusted Transitions Radio Show, host Mike Schuch speaks with Jane Goessl and Lori Lutze of Tudor Oaks about Tudor Oaks Home Care and a new virtual monitoring system designed to help seniors remain independent with added peace of mind.

Tudor Oaks Home Care offers a wide range of in-home support services. These include companion care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, personal care, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting assistance, memory support, hospice coordination, and couples care. Services can begin with a minimum of three hours and can expand up to 24/7 care when needed.

But families often ask an important question: what happens when the caregiver leaves? To help answer that need, Tudor Oaks Home Care has partnered with Sincora to offer virtual monitoring. This technology does not use video recording or voice recording. Instead, sensors are placed in key areas of the home to detect movement patterns, potential falls, and changes in daily routines. The system can also include blood pressure monitoring and medication support.

This added layer of monitoring helps families and caregivers notice changes that may otherwise go unseen. For example, Lori shared how the system helped identify a fall from a wheelchair and also detected a change in nighttime bathroom visits that led to the discovery of a urinary tract infection.

The goal is not to replace caregivers. Seniors still need people for hands-on support like bathing, dressing, toileting, companionship, and daily care. Instead, virtual monitoring works alongside traditional home care to provide around-the-clock awareness when caregivers are not present.

For adult children and family members, this can offer tremendous peace of mind. Through the monitoring system, they can better understand whether a loved one is moving normally, leaving the house, or showing signs of a change in condition.

For seniors who want to maintain independence while staying safe at home, this combination of in-home care and smart monitoring can be a valuable solution. It supports better outcomes, safer transitions home from hospital or rehab, and greater confidence for families.
