About this app

ChimeBuddy is an all-in-one communication and support app designed for senior living communities. It brings residents and staff together in a simple, friendly experience—so it’s easy to stay connected, request assistance, keep up with community updates, and enjoy daily activities. Whether you’re joining a conversation, checking today’s dining menu, setting reminders, or reaching out to the Front Desk, ChimeBuddy helps you get what you need in just a few taps.

ChimeBuddy is built for clarity and accessibility. Large, readable screens and straightforward navigation help residents feel confident using the app, while staff can communicate efficiently and keep requests organized. Communities can tailor experiences based on roles and availability, so features are presented in a way that makes sense for each user.

ChimeBuddy also includes optional safety features. If enabled, location permissions can support campus safety alerts and last-known location functionality. These features are optional and controlled by the user, and the app remains functional even if location services are not enabled.
