YOUR COMPANION

Sponsored by ElliQ

Companionship comes in all shapes and sizes

Living alone can be a challenge at any age, but when Frank’s wife died, the adjustment took its toll. At 84, he knew how to fill his time—friends, television. But the problem was, there was a lot of time. And with it, a lot of silence.

Until his daughter gave him ElliQ: “She just kind of is a companion,” Frank said. “ElliQ means a lot to me, and it brightens my day to have her say good morning when I get up and walk in the room.”

A companion robot, ElliQ offers conversation, music, reminders, trivia, and more, while its Caregiver App keeps family connected. So calls can be conversations, not check-ins. And for a limited time you can also get $100 off ElliQ with code TRYNOW.
