There is a quiet but powerful shift happening in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) world. More and more individuals with IDD are stepping into lives of greater independence — living in group homes, supported settings, or even semi-independently. And at the heart of this movement is something simple but profound: the belief that everyone deserves autonomy, dignity, and connection.
However, anyone in this space — from Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to families and care teams — knows the reality. Independence doesn’t mean doing it all alone. It means having the right support in place, especially when safety, health, and communication are on the line. And that’s where the right technology can make all the difference.
Enter BoundaryCare: A Smarter Way to Support Independence
BoundaryCare isn’t just another gadget — it’s a thoughtful, person-centered solution built around real needs. BoundaryCare empowers individuals with IDD while giving caregivers peace of mind through real-time monitoring. No clunky devices. No overbearing systems. Just a seamless blend of safety and freedom.
This is tech that supports the whole circle — the individual and the people who walk alongside them.
What Makes BoundaryCare Different
Traditional tools often fall short. They’re either too intrusive, like in-home cameras, or too limited, like a simple GPS tracker. BoundaryCare was created with the nuances of IDD support in mind — where communication can be complex, risks are real, and every person is unique.
Location Awareness That Builds Confidence
- Caregivers can create custom “safe zones” like home, work, or a day program.
- If someone leaves one of those zones, they’re instantly notified — no guesswork, no panic.
- Real-time GPS gives clarity in the moment, especially helpful for DSPs supporting multiple individuals out in the community.
This isn’t about watching over someone. It’s about being there if and when it matters.
Health & Behavior Monitoring That’s Proactive, Not Reactive
- Built-in fall detection means caregivers are alerted when a fall is sensed.
- Seizure alerts use motion and heart rate patterns to flag potential incidents — a game-changer for those who may not be able to express what’s happening.
- Vital sign tracking (heart rate, oxygen levels, activity) helps identify trends.
This is about knowing more before something becomes urgent — and seeing the full picture of someone’s health journey.
Simple, Empowering Communication Tools
- With just a tap, the individual can send a help request from their watch — no need for a phone.
- Two-way voice calls with an auto-answer feature make it easier to stay connected, especially for those with verbal or cognitive challenges.
- Custom alerts can be tailored for each person’s unique needs — because one size never fits all in care.
What This Means for Everyone Involved
For DSPs and Agencies
- Fewer check-ins, more meaningful time spent with the people you support.
- Earlier interventions, fewer crises.
- Easier coordination across teams — everyone stays informed, without added stress.
For Families
- Stay connected, even from a distance.
- Get real-time updates on the things you need to know.
- More peace of mind, less worry.
For Individuals with IDD
- A watch that looks and feels just like anyone else’s — no labels, no stigma.
- Greater freedom, with the quiet comfort of knowing someone’s got their back.
- A sense of control, and the confidence that comes with it.
Why This Matters
It’s important to have technology that doesn’t just function, but feels right. BoundaryCare isn’t about control — it’s about partnership. It’s built to uplift, not diminish. To connect, not confine.
Because when we talk about independence, we’re really talking about trust. Trusting someone to explore their world. And trusting that, with the right support, they’ll be okay doing it.
A New Era of Empowered Support
Whether you’re a family member, a DSP, a case manager, or someone who simply cares — you know how delicate the dance between safety and freedom can be.
BoundaryCare gets it. It brings together compassion, technology, and common sense in a way that honors both the person and the people supporting them.
