Love these insights?

Reviews tell you about the falls families saw. Nobi tells you about all of them.

Nobi lights make ordinary rooms smart: fall detection in seconds, two-way communication and nurse call, a log of staff visits and calls, and insight into how each fall happened — so the next one can be prevented. Privacy by design.

Waiting for help

“Have had terrible trouble as of late, long long wait for food service, 90+min wait. Facility needs to work on staffing and service to properly take care of residents.”

In their own words.

“I can’t say enough about how WONDERFUL the entire staff is at The Cascades of the Sierra. From our first look to the move in and beyond the place is bustling with smiles, positive people, and a can do attitude. Amber L., Chris G., Marie H., Nurse Diane and the list goes on and on get an A+++. Well done, don’t change a single thing.”

“Mom lives there. Likes her apartment and amenities. Staff was very responsive to one complaint we had re food service. It's somewhat pricey (all the good ones are) but worth it if you have the resources.”

“Understaffed and at times meals take upwards of 90 minutes. For the amount paid that's grossly unacceptable”

Is this your community?

Families don’t just tour buildings. They tour for reassurance.

“What happens if my mom falls at 2 a.m.?” Communities that answer that clearly win the move-in — and write a different kind of review. See how Nobi communities say it out loud, on the tour and in the brochure.

What families ask on tour
01“How quickly will you know if she falls?”
02“Will someone check on her at night?”
03“How do you protect her privacy and her dignity?”
04“What happens before a fall, not just after?”
