After hours tech support for senior living residents

A resident sits down after dinner to call a grandchild and the video call will not connect. On a Sunday the TV remote stops working, or the tablet asks for a password nobody remembers. These moments happen when the front desk is lightly staffed and the activities team has gone home.

Without a place to turn, residents either wait until Monday, call a worried family member, or ask the overnight staff, who have other priorities.

Give residents a patient tech help line that is open nights and weekends, so overnight staff can focus on care. Ellis is $499 a month per community, with a 30 day pilot and month to month after that.

Ellis is an AI assistant, not a person, and says so at the start of every call. Calling the number from any phone gets the first 5 minutes free, so you can test it with a real device problem before you decide.

What residents call about after hours

Why after hours coverage matters to operators

  1. Overnight and weekend staff can stay focused on care and safety instead of phone and TV questions.
  2. Families hear fewer late night calls from a parent stuck on a device.
  3. Residents stay connected to family at the times families actually call, evenings and weekends.
  4. It is a concrete amenity to mention on tours: a patient help line that does not close at five.

Where Ellis fits

Ellis is a patient AI phone helper residents can call at (928) 272-0355, day or night, including weekends. It says up front that it is an AI, walks through one step at a time, repeats as often as needed, and never asks for passwords, Social Security numbers or card numbers.

Ellis is not an emergency line and does not replace staff. Anything urgent, physical or hands on goes to your team through the channels you already use.

Questions operators ask

Is Ellis really available at night and on weekends?

Yes. The line answers at any hour. If the service ever has an outage, callers are told to try again later or contact staff.

What happens if a resident calls about something that is not tech?

Ellis explains that it only helps with technology and suggests the resident contact staff or family. It does not give medical advice.

Do overnight staff need training to use it?

No. Staff can simply give residents the number, or call it themselves for help with a resident device.
