When someone is nearing the end of life, the people who love them often want to be there for the last hours. Reaching everyone at once, in the middle of the night, is hard. A little planning ahead of time lets the family focus on being present instead of making phone calls.
Agree in advance on the circle of people and one way to reach all of them at once, so a single message goes out instead of a chain of separate calls.
Ordinary texts and calls can be missed. Some tools send an alert designed to come through even on silent or Do Not Disturb; Bedside uses that kind of alert for the come-now moment.
Set the circle up ahead of time and designate one sender, so the family is not managing logistics during the hours that matter most.
No. With Bedside, the people you add can be reached without installing anything, and they never pay.
