Our Story

While mourning the loss of his father, Rob Blatt came to realize that he and his sister had become responsible for the well-being of their mother, now living by herself thousands of miles away.  Aside from a bad knee and the usual 80 something aches and pains, his mom was generally capable, but Rob was consumed with the “what if’s” – what if Mom slipped in the bathroom?  What if Mom forgot to lock the door at night? What if the subtle signs of cognitive decline went unnoticed for too long?

Without Dad, who would be there to know?

The engineer in Rob couldn’t help but think that data must hold the answer. He scoured the market to look for a solution that would give him peace of mind while giving his mom the privacy, independence and autonomy she deserved. The market had nothing to offer.

So Rob took matters into his own hands and imagined the potential of caregiving through data. envoyatHome was born! Fred Bresani and Josh LIttlejohn soon joined the team and a few years later, envoyatHome brings peace of mind to Caregivers all over the country by replacing guesswork with data.
