Keep families in the room.

A way for families to stay present with loved ones in long-term care, through the TV that's already in the room.

The problem

Every senior has a life worth remembering.

Across Ontario, more than 100,000 people live in long-term care. For many, especially those living with dementia, the hardest part isn't the care. It's the distance. A daughter in Toronto who can only visit twice a month. A son who lives too far. A grandchild who wants to reach out but doesn't know how.

Their loved one can't open an app or answer a phone. So the room stays still, and the connection fades, not for lack of love, but for lack of a way. We think every senior has stories worth preserving, and people who still want to share them. Anansi Care exists to keep those stories in the room.

The product

How it works.

  1. A small box, plugged into the TV.

    A small device plugs into the resident's TV, the way a streaming box would, and connects to WiFi. Staff set it up once, and everything after that happens on the family's phone.

  2. Family sends from their phone.

    From anywhere, family members share photos and videos, record voice messages, tell stories and memories from their loved one's life, schedule a daily good-morning, or start a video call, all from an app that works like the messaging apps they already use.

  3. It appears in the room, on its own.

    Photos become a gentle slideshow. A scheduled "Good morning, Dad, it's Sarah" plays at 9 AM every day. When family calls, the TV answers itself and their face fills the screen. The resident does nothing but look up.

For long-term care homes

Made for how long-term care homes really run.

  • No staff burden.

    Plug it in and walk away. No tablets to charge, no apps to set up, no one to train.

  • No resident learning curve.

    Nothing to tap, swipe, or understand. It works for residents with advanced dementia, the people most solutions leave behind.

  • Families do everything.

    The work lives on their phones, not your floor. A meaningful moment sent in ten seconds, from wherever they are.

Privacy

Your family's moments stay in Canada.

Every photo, message, and call stays on Canadian servers, hosted in Canada, and never sent anywhere else. No advertising. No tracking. No selling of data.

Let's talk.

We're working with an early-adopter facility in Ontario and speaking with directors about what this could look like in their homes. If that's you, book a short call. Just a conversation about whether it fits your home.
