How it works

We talk with the family (and the senior) about who they hear from, what has gone wrong before and how much help they want.

Trusted lists
Together we build the lists of trusted people, businesses and numbers: family, friends, doctors, pharmacy, bank and church.

Set up and practice
We install and configure everything, then practice with the senior until it feels easy, with large print and simple steps.

Family stays in the loop
The family gets alerts and an easy way to approve new contacts, and we handle changes whenever they’re needed.

Scam-Proof Computer Setup for Seniors FAQs
Will it make the computer harder to use?
The opposite: we remove clutter, enlarge text and keep only what they use, so it’s simpler and safer.
Mac or Windows?
Both. We work with the computer they have, or help pick a simpler one.
Will Mom still get email from new people she wants to hear from?
Yes. Anyone can be added to her approved list in seconds, by her or by a family member, and their email shows up from then on.
Does call screening block doctors and pharmacies?
Not if they’re on the approved list, and we add them at setup. Unknown callers can be asked to say who they are, so a new doctor’s office can still get through or leave a message.
