Monitor your parents' well-being from your phone
JubileeTV's elderly monitoring system works with their existing TV and gives you a way to see they're safe and comfortable without interrupting their day.
60 Days Risk-Free Guarantee
Real, human support
Works with existing TVs
AS SEEN IN
Monitor daily routines without hovering
JubileeTV offers elderly monitoring that gives you three ways to stay informed and intervene when needed — all through the TV they already use every day.
See daily patterns at a glance
See everything happening in their day: TV turned on, movement detected, when they're active vs. inactive. It's like reading a diary of their day without asking them to report in.
What you see:
Presence: Are they following their typical routine?
TV usage patterns: Did they turn on their TV for the morning news like always?
Movement: Are they up and active as usual?
One-way video check-ins
Drop-In lets you see they're okay without interrupting them. It's a one-way video check - they don't have to answer or do anything. Peace of mind delivered in seconds.
When to use it:
They're not answering calls
They haven't turned on the TV yet
You're out of town and want to see they're okay
Check in before you video call
Auto-answer video calls
Sometimes you need to talk. But what happens when they don't hear the phone ring? Or can't figure out how to answer?
With JubileeTV, your call appears full-screen on their TV automatically. No buttons to press. They just see you and start talking.
You initiate a call from the app on your phone
Their TV automatially turns on and chimes
They can see and hear you immediately
Their independence matters. So does their safety
This isn't surveillance, it's caregiving. You're not spying, you're checking on someone you're responsible for. The same way you'd peek in on a sleeping child, you can peek in on an aging parent.
The console
A small, discreet device with a web cam and microphone that connects their existing TV to the JubileeTV system.
The app
Use the JubileeTV app to mirror their TV screen, check in, video call, fix tech issues, send reminders, and more — no matter where you are.
The elderly monitoring solution they'll allow (and use)
Most elderly monitoring fails because it's either too intrusive (cameras watching them) or too passive (buttons they won't press). JubileeTV works because it's invisible. Monitoring happens through the TV they already use every day.
No new devices to learn
Works even if they can't/won't use tech
Respects privacy/dignity
You can check on them proactively
Two-way communication
Shows daily activity patterns
(uses existing TV)
(auto-answer, drop-in)
(video not recorded)
(video calling)
Security Camera
(always recording)
Medical Alert Button
(remember to wear)
(must press button)
(only if they alert)
Simple Senior Phone
(remember to charge)
(must answer phone)
(only if they answer)
Is JubileeTV right for your situation?
This works best for families where a caregiver is hands-on but can't be physically present 24/7.
You're a perfect fit if:
You're the primary caregiver spending 7+ hours/week managing their care
You live within driving distance but can't be there constantly
They live alone or in assisted living / memory care where you can't monitor them in person
They don't have (or won't use) security cameras, medical alert buttons, or smartphones
You need to catch problems early before they become emergencies
You're tech-comfortable and want a reliable monitoring system
Their cognitive or physical abilities are declining and you need more visibility
Beyond monitoring: Everything else included
JubileeTV is a complete caregiving platform that handles the other daily frustrations too. Since it's already connected to their TV, it also solves other caregiving headaches you're probably dealing with every week.
Fix their TV from your phone
See what's on their screen and change channels, adjust volume, or switch inputs remotely. No more emergency trips to press one button.
Connect family face-to-face
Video calls appear full-screen on their TV automatically. No smartphone needed. Up to 4 family members can join one call.
Reminders they can't miss
Schedule medication times, appointments, or custom messages. Automatically turn on their TV and chime to catch their attention.
Share family moments instantly
Send photos from your phone to their TV. Create slideshows of grandkids and family events that update automatically.
Control that evolves with their needs
Start with the voice remote, add the snap-on simplifier cover when needed, or upgrade to the 6-button remote as abilities decline. Adjust without buying a new system.
No more scrolling endless channels
Save their favorite channels and streaming apps in one place. Channel up/down goes through favorites only—never get lost in menus again.
See how families like yours found peace of mind
Thousands of families across the U.S. use JubileeTV every day. Here's what they say:
"I caught a problem before it became a crisis"
"Dad's Activity Feed showed he wasn't moving around like normal for two days straight. I did a Drop-In and saw he was sleeping in his chair at 2pm, which is totally unlike him. Drove over and found out he had a UTI and was confused. If I'd waited for him to call me, it could have been much worse."
Michael R., son
Dad: 87, lives alone, mobility issues
"I can finally sleep through the night"
"Before JubileeTV, I was calling Mom 3-4 times a day just to make sure she was okay. Now I check the Activity Feed in the morning to see that she's up, moving around, following her routine and I know she's fine. The worry that used to consume my day is just... gone."
Sandra S., daughter
Mom: 84, lives alone, early dementia
"My siblings can finally help"
"I was doing everything because I'm local. My brother and sister are out of state and felt useless. Now they all have the app so they can see Mom's Activity Feed, do Drop-Ins, video call her. It's not all on me anymore, and Mom loves seeing her whole family more regularly."
Jennifer J., daughter
Mom: 89, assisted living, can't use phone

Will JubileeTV work with your setup?
JubileeTV is designed to work with the familiar equipment your loved ones already have. Here's all you need:
Their TV
Any model from the last 15 years.
Internet connection
If they can watch Netflix or make video calls, you're all set
Cable/satellite box or streaming device
Compatible with: Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, cable/satellite boxes. Not compatible with smart TV apps as the only content source.
Want to double-check your loved one's setup?
Frequently asked questions
Will my parent know I'm monitoring them?
Yes, JubileeTV is designed to be transparent without disrupting them:
The console has an activity indicator light that shows when the camera is in use
You can (and should) explain to them why you need visibility into their daily routines
They can physically cover the camera if they choose
Most families find that once their parent understands this helps them stay independent longer, they welcome the peace of mind it gives everyone
Can I check on them without them knowing?
The Drop-In feature allows one-way video check-ins where they don't have to answer or interact and the TV can be on or off, but the activity light on the console shows when the camera is active. This is intentional. JubileeTV supports caregiving, not covert surveillance.
What happens if I see something concerning?
You have options:
Start a video call to check in immediately
Use Drop-In for a quick visual check
Call them on their regular phone
Drive over if it's urgent
Contact their caregiver/facility if they have one
JubileeTV gives you information so you can take action. What action you take is up to you.
How much activity detail do I see?
The Activity Feed shows the following events:
TV on/off*
Remote control button presses
Presence in the room (1 person present, 2 or more people present)*
When they're sitting still vs. moving around
*Optional: take a photo when these events occur for additional confirmation and peace of mind
It does NOT show:
Audio of conversations in the room
Detailed facial recognition
Constant video recording
You get "big picture" insights, not invasive details.
What if they have dementia and forget about the monitoring?
This is actually common and okay. The system works whether they remember it's there or not:
Auto-answer video calls work regardless of their memory
Activity Feed tracks patterns automatically
Drop-In gives you visibility even if they can't report in
Reminders appear on screen whether they remember setting them or not
The system is designed to work despite cognitive decline, not requiring them to use it actively.
How do I explain this to my parent without making them feel watched?
Frame it around their goals:
"This helps you stay in your home longer"
"I worry when I can't reach you and this lets me see you're okay without bothering you"
"The grandkids can video call you easily now"
"If something happens, I'll know right away"
Most resistance comes from fear of losing independence. Emphasize that monitoring supports their independence by catching small problems before they become big ones that force major life changes.
How hard is the setup?
Most families complete setup in 20-30 minutes. It's as simple as plugging in HDMI cables and connecting to WiFi. You follow clear on-screen instructions, and if you get stuck at any point, we offer free virtual setup support where we walk you through it step-by-step over the phone. No tech expertise required. If you can plug in a cable box, you can set up JubileeTV.
Upgrade option: Professional in-home installation is available for $99 if you prefer to have someone else handle it.
What if it doesn't work with their TV or setup?
JubileeTV works with virtually all TVs made after 2005 that have an HDMI port. This covers 98% of TVs. It connects to cable boxes, satellite receivers (DirecTV, Dish), streaming devices (Roku, Apple TV), and more.
Before you buy: Use our compatibility checker or call us at 855-466-4492. We'll confirm everything will work in under 2 minutes.
If it truly doesn't work: Our 60-day money-back guarantee covers you completely. Free returns, full refund, no questions asked.
Is this worth the price?
Consider what you're spending now: drive time to fix the TV ($10+ in gas per trip), missed work hours ($50-200 per emergency visit), potential costs of delayed intervention if you can't monitor daily routines, and the mental toll of all the frustrating phone calls.
Most families find JubileeTV pays for itself in the first month just in saved drive time and peace of mind. And unlike a one-time purchase that becomes obsolete, JubileeTV adapts as needs change—you're not buying a remote, you're buying a complete system that grows with your family.
Real example: "It has allowed mom to stay in her home instead of moving to assisted living—that's $4,000-8,000 per month in savings." - Customer testimonial
Try it risk-free: Our 60-day guarantee means you can test the value yourself before committing.
Do they need a smartphone or computer?
No. Your parent doesn't need any device except their TV. Everything appears automatically on their familiar TV screen. You use the app on your phone to control things remotely, start video calls, or check in—but your parent doesn't have to touch anything.
Is JubileeTV a legitimate company with good support?
JubileeTV powers tens of thousands of daily connections for families nationwide. We've been featured in Wirecutter, Business Insider, Bloomberg, and WIRED. We also received Fast Company's 2025 World Changing Ideas Award for Accessibility.
Our support team: Real humans (not chatbots) available 7 days a week via phone and email. Our customers consistently praise our support: "Greatest customer service anywhere!" and "The support team is AMAZING—knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and patient."
Built for the long term: We're backed by top-tier investors and focused on serving families managing aging—this isn't a side project or fly-by-night company.
Will this work in assisted living or memory care?
Yes, and many of our customers use JubileeTV in senior communities. Here's what you'll need:
Before purchasing:
Confirm the facility allows devices with cameras (mention it's for family video calls)
Ensure you can connect a device to their TV and access WiFi
Check if they need IT department approval
What helps: We're happy to speak with you or the community directly to answer specific questions. Many facilities appreciate that families can help with TV issues remotely rather than calling staff.
Can multiple family members monitor them?
Yes, unlimited family members can access the app. You control permissions for each person:
Some might have full access (Activity Feed, Drop-In, Video Calls)
Others might only have video calling
You decide who sees what
This is especially valuable for sharing caregiving responsibilities among siblings.
What if other monitoring tools are already in place (alarm button, security camera)?
JubileeTV works alongside existing systems. Many families use:
JubileeTV for daily routine monitoring and communication
Medical alert buttons for emergency situations
Security cameras for entry points (if needed)
Each serves a different purpose. JubileeTV excels at daily visibility and proactive monitoring, while medical alerts are reactive (only work if they push the button).
How is this different from a security camera?
Security cameras:
Always recording, often to cloud storage
Usually pointed at living spaces
Designed for security/theft prevention
Require separate app/system
JubileeTV:
No video recording or storage
Designed for caregiving and connection
Built into the TV they already use
Includes two-way communication, reminders, and TV support
It's a different tool for a different purpose.
When is the right time to get this?
The best time is before you need it desperately. Most families wish they'd gotten JubileeTV sooner. After a small incident (missed medication, confusion with TV, fall when you couldn't reach them quickly), they realize they should have been prepared.
Common timeline:
Too early: Almost never—even if your parent seems fine now, having tools in place prevents scrambling during a crisis
Just right: When you notice early signs (frequent TV calls, slight forgetfulness, you're checking in more often)
Too late: After a health event when you're already stressed and rushed
The advantage of starting now: Your parent has time to get comfortable with the system while they're still capable. Introducing it during a crisis is much harder.
No commitment risk: 60-day guarantee means you can test whether the timing is right without financial risk.
