As families across the greater Tacoma area seek innovative ways to keep their loved ones safe at home, Home Instead of Tacoma is proud to introduce Sensi Virtual Care Companion — a breakthrough technology that's transforming how we deliver compassionate care to seniors throughout our South Sound community.
What Makes Sensi Different?
Sensi isn't just another monitoring device. It's a sophisticated virtual care companion that works seamlessly with our experienced Care Professionals to provide round-the-clock peace of mind.

Real Benefits for Families
Fewer Emergency Hospital Visits
Early detection and intervention help reduce healthcare costs and emergency situations. By catching potential issues before they become serious, Sensi helps keep your loved one healthier and more stable — particularly important given the excellent healthcare resources available in our region.
Peace of Mind for Family Caregivers
Caring for an aging loved one can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Sensi provides that extra layer of security, knowing that someone is always watching out for your family member's wellbeing.
Supporting Independence Longer
The goal isn't to replace human connection — it's to enhance it. Sensi supports aging in place by enabling seniors to stay safely in their own homes longer while maintaining their independence and dignity.
Blended Care: The Best of Both Worlds
What sets Home Instead apart is our commitment to blended care. Sensi doesn't replace our compassionate Care Professionals — it enhances their ability to provide exceptional care. When technology and human compassion work together, the result is comprehensive care that addresses every aspect of your loved one's wellbeing.
Our Care Pros continue to provide:
- Personal care and companionship
- Medication reminders and management
- Light housekeeping and meal preparation
- Transportation and errands
- Specialized care for conditions like dementia and diabetes
Meanwhile, Sensi provides:
- Continuous background monitoring
- Early warning system for health changes
- 24/7 peace of mind between visits
- Data-driven insights into care needs
Perfect for South Sound Families
Whether you're in downtown Tacoma, the tree-lined streets of University Place, the lakes of Lakewood, the charming community of Fircrest, historic Steilacoom, the waterfront beauty of Gig Harbor, or anywhere throughout our service area including Anderson Island, Brown's Point, Spanaway, Sumner, and Parkland, Sensi is designed to work in real homes with real families.
Sensi is particularly valuable for:
- Seniors living alone who want to maintain independence
- Families spread across the South Sound who worry about their loved one between care visits
- Those managing chronic conditions that require close monitoring
- Island residents or those in more remote areas of our service region
- Anyone wanting to prevent emergency situations before they happen
