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

“My only experience with this facility is through walking a resident's dog. Unfortunately because it is a large dog, many of the caretakers are too scared to do their job well. On several occasions I have mentioned my concerns with the front desk and none of them have been addressed. Overall, the caretakers themselves are overworked, understaffed, and undertrained for dealing with residents' pets.”

In their own words.

“My dad has been living at The Preston of the Park Cities for over two months now and the experience has been fantastic. He is really enjoying the people, the activities, the facilities, and the food. I visit and dine with him frequently and can personally attest to the friendliness of the entire staff and the quality of the food. I highly recommend The Preston.”

“Just moved my dad in here. The people are wonderful and have accommodated every request. Special shoutout to the maintenance team: Michael’s the manager. Frank and Javier are on his team. They took care of everything brilliantly. We’re so grateful for making a difficult transition as easy as it could possibly be.”

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?”
