Database Systems Corp. (DSC) provides automatic call processing systems and technology including phone systems that broadcast voice messages to community members. This technology is ideally suited for community service applications such as calling home alone children to ensure they are OK.

DSC provides a complete phone system and software solution called CARE (Call Reassurance) that calls seniors or children left alone at home (sometimes called latch key kids).

CARE systems are generally installed and managed by community organizations such as police departments or county sheriff's offices, but can be managed by volunteer groups, school districts, or other community service organizations.

Contact DSC to learn more about our call reassurance systems and services for calling homealone kids. For useful information about latchkey children published by a community service organization, please visit the Latchkey Children Guidelines web page.

eCARE is an online service developed by DSC for community organizations or groups that wish to provide CARE services to their members. By creating an eCARE account, you can add one or more members to this account and manage individual schedules and call information as if you had your own CARE phone system. eCARE accounts are designed for groups who do not wish to purchase and maintain computers or lease phone lines. DSC does all of that for you.

You can create and manage a community organization eCARE account for free using our online registration process. With this account, you can enroll children and other community members using various different profiles including home alone children calls. Individual members of this community receive special discounts when enrolled through a single eCARE account.

• Telephone Reassurance Calls - single and multiple calls per day.
• Medication Reminder Calls - single and multiple calls per day.
• Home Alone Children Calls - check up on children left at home alone.

The CARE (Call Reassurance) phone system is a state-of-the-art phone system that performs telephone reassurance calls within a community. DSC is a leading provider of community calling programs. These programs assist the elderly who are living alone as well as single parents or 2 working parents who need to ensure their children are OK when they return from school.

Homealone children and homebound seniors are called on a regular basis to ensure their well-being. If the CARE subscriber does not answer the call, the CARE phone system automatically generates an emergency call to the parents, family or friends as well as notification to the CARE phone center. The CARE program is updated to ensure a follow-up is performed and that the senior or child is truly OK.

Typically, our CARE home alone children monitoring system works in the following manner:

• Police or Sheriff's office acquires a CARE phone system.
• Community organizations assist in promoting this service (usually free).
• Parent(s) enroll their child by contacting the CARE community organization.
• A home phone number to call is provided.
• Specific calling time (or range) is selected by the parent.
