caregiver service
Amazon's Alexa Together caregiver service is available today
You can now use Alexa Together to help take care of aging family members. Amazon has launched the $20 per month ($199 per year) service, with a six-month free trial available for a "limited time." Care Hub users get a full free year from now until December 7th, 2022. Your loved one will need an Alexa-capable device, but after that it's relatively hands-off -- they ideally get more independence while you get some peace of mind. The elderly relative can reach an emergency helpline if they ask Alexa to "call for help," but Together is mainly useful for notifications.
