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.

“My Father has lived at Alexis Estates for the better part of 4 years and it has been a great experience. The management & staff has been excellent, overall quality of the food has been very good, the property is well kept with well thought out common spaces that are light and bright, and the residences have convenient floor plans.”

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?”
