Claris Companion
The Claris Companion is a way for individuals and staff to have a virtual “Face to Face” session. Beyond this, it helps staff monitor how individuals are feeling, gives reminders for individuals to take medications, and sends staff alerts when they do or if they are missed. There is a “Call Me” button that sends an alert to staff that notifies them if the individual needs them to reach out as well.
Due to the pandemic, we obtained Claris Companion for individuals who live on their own in case staff had to restrict face to face visits. If you are intersted in Claris Companion, email Trudy Haury at trudy.haury@marc-cr.org. To learn more, visit the Claris Companion website.
