How Remote Caregiving Solutions Can Keep Heroes Safe and Independent

What is Remote Caregiving

Caring for a veteran is an act of love that sometimes comes with distance - whether it’s miles apart, busy schedules, or health challenges that make regular visits difficult. According to a RAND Corporation study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 5.5 million Americans provide unpaid care to current and former service members, many from afar (Ramchand et al., 2014).

Remote caregiving bridges that gap. By using technology such as discreet in-home sensors, health-tracking devices, and mobile apps, caregivers can monitor well-being, stay connected, and provide support without being intrusive. It’s a compassionate way to combine independence and connection - helping veterans maintain their routines while caregivers stay informed and reassured.

How Remote Caregiving for Veterans Works, and How Nomo Smart Care Helps

Remote caregiving works by allowing family and friends to provide care to a loved one without invading their privacy, while also giving caregivers peace of mind that their loved ones are doing ok from wherever they are throughout the day. That’s where technology like Nomo Smart Care makes a difference.

With Nomo Smart Care Remote Caregiving Systems, caregivers can:

• View daily routines and activity levels in real time
• Receive alerts for changes to normal routines
• Track trends over time to share with healthcare providers
• Remind loved ones remotely throughout the day of anything they need to do

How Can Remote Caregiving Solutions Help Veterans

Remote caregiving can support veterans in various ways, depending on their individual needs and the level of involvement from those around them.

With Remote Caregiving, veterans can:

• Keep their independence
• Maintain their current daily routines
• Live comfortably knowing that their friends and family will know if something is wrong

For veterans, knowing that someone is monitoring their well-being helps them maintain their independence and daily routine, while offering comfort that loved ones will be informed if something happens. The Nomo System allows veterans to stay safely at home, continue their existing schedules, and always feel connected, ensuring they aren’t alone. This approach helps veterans remain independent and safe while giving families confidence that support is always close at hand.
