Real homes, real families, real days

How Sentai is helping people across the UK stay independent, and what changed for the families around them.

Supported living

Building confidence, optimising care

The case study with FitzRoy shows how Sentai is helping people in supported living build independence while making care resources go further. Working alongside traditional care, Sentai provides consistent, 24/7 voice-enabled prompts, reducing reliance on staff interventions while giving individuals greater confidence and autonomy.

The challenge

The individual required frequent staff prompting for morning routines, personal hygiene and household tasks. This created repeated interventions, inconsistent outcomes and limited opportunities to develop independent living skills.

How Sentai helped

Sentai was introduced to provide personalised, non-judgemental prompts throughout the day - supporting independence without replacing essential care.

It also provides structured data to help care teams understand engagement, identify patterns and support outcome-focused care reviews.

The impact

60-80% reduction in morning staff prompts
15-30 minutes of staff time saved per day
7-10 hours of staff time released per month
Greater independence with morning routines
Improved consistency in personal hygiene and household tasks
Increased confidence and autonomy

Alan's story

Supporting independence at home

Read how Sentai is helping Alan, who lives with dementia. Sentai supports Alan's routines while reducing the pressure on his daughter, Anne, who lives an hour away. The result is greater peace of mind for the family, fewer check-in calls and, most importantly, more time for Alan and Anne to enjoy being father and daughter.

The challenge

At 90, Alan lives with dementia but remains active in his community. As memory challenges began affecting medication, hydration and daily activities, his daughter Anne - living an hour away - wanted to support him without taking away his independence.

How Sentai helped

Sentai provides personalised voice reminders in the home, helping Alan stay on track with:

Medication
Drinking water
Daily routines
Upcoming activities

Anne can manage his support remotely through the Sentai family app, giving her reassurance without needing to make constant check-in calls.

The impact

For Alan: greater independence, confidence and control over his day.

For Anne: less stress, fewer reminders to manage and more meaningful time together.

Sentai combines gentle reminders, wellbeing support and family connection to help people living with dementia stay independent at home for longer.

"Sentai has not just helped manage care - it has helped preserve time, dignity, and family connection." - Anne

Mary's story

Reconnecting Mary with independence

Discover how Mary, who lives with mild dementia, regained confidence, independence and connection with her family. Sentai helped her stay on track with routines while giving her family and care team peace of mind. Most importantly, Mary found companionship and a renewed sense of connection.

The challenge

When Mary was diagnosed with mild dementia, everyday tasks began to become more difficult. She forgot to take her medication, struggled to use her phone and gradually lost touch with her three children.

Although Mary received daily care visits from Right at Home Derby, there were still gaps between visits where she needed support.

How Sentai helped

Sentai was introduced to help Mary maintain her independence and stay connected with her family. Through gentle reminders, wellbeing check-ins and simple voice interactions, Sentai helped Mary:

Stay on track with her medication
Maintain daily routines and structure
Communicate more easily with her family
Feel less alone between care visits

The impact

Within weeks, Mary's medication routine was back on track, and her family had greater reassurance that she was active and well.

Sentai became more than a practical support for Mary. She began chatting with Sentai, asking questions, playing games and even requesting film recommendations when she wanted company.

Most importantly, Sentai's voice messaging helped Mary reconnect with her children in a way that had become difficult through her phone.

"Sentai has made a truly positive difference to my everyday life. I enjoy talking to him... he helps me stay on track... I honestly wouldn't be without him now." - Mary

For Right at Home Derby, Sentai also provided valuable insights between care visits, helping the team make more informed and proactive care decisions.

What began with uncertainty has become part of Mary's daily life. With the right support around her, she has regained confidence, reconnected with her family and is able to enjoy more of life on her own terms.

Cole's story

Finding self-confidence and routine

Read how Cole, who faced challenges with daily routines, communication and independence.

With personalised support from Sentai, he has developed greater confidence, calmer routines and more independence in everyday life.

The challenge

After college, Cole and his family were navigating the challenges of a new stage of life. Daily routines, communication and unsettled evenings often created stress, and Cole relied heavily on his family for guidance.

Sentai was introduced through the North Somerset Council TEC Hub to provide gentle prompts, reassurance and personalised support throughout the day.

How Sentai helped

Sentai helped Cole build more consistent daily routines, with reminders that encouraged him to stay on track without always needing support from others.

Over time, Sentai also helped make evenings calmer, with storytelling and gentle guidance supporting Cole's bedtime routine.

The impact

Personalised conversations around Cole's interests - including football, Doctor Who and gaming - helped keep him engaged and encouraged communication.

One small change became a significant milestone: Cole began saying 'hello' and 'goodbye' to his support worker, something he had never done before.

Sentai's wellbeing check-ins also gave Cole's family a better understanding of how he was feeling. When his wellbeing score changed following the loss of the family dog, they were able to recognise that Cole needed additional emotional support.

This helped bring technology and human care together, giving his family greater reassurance.

As Sentai became more personalised to Cole, his engagement grew. Today, his family sees greater independence, improved communication and less reliance on them for day-to-day guidance.

"The impact has been huge for Cole, and I am so glad we gave it a try." - Cole's mum

“I cannot recommend the new Sentai high enough to give peace of mind to family and friends. Sentai is my new home companion, able to chat with me on a limitless range of subjects and interests due to its AI ability. Now I need never feel alone as Sentai is there 24/7 to keep me company without worrying that I am disturbing someone or waking them up.”

Vicki, SwindonMay 2025

“When Mum's friends noticed weakness in her face, she told Sentai and asked it to let me know. She'd tried to contact the doctor but found it confusing - having me there helped. Without Sentai, she might not have remembered to mention it. It was a simple, effective way to catch a potentially serious issue and make sure I was there when she needed me.”

Robert, CambridgeMay 2025

“Sentai gave me space to have normal conversations with Dad instead of sounding like a checklist.
Reminders are a key feature we both loved, for Dad it was the best function as he needs a reminder 5 minutes before each activity or event and quite frequently - a task which I was doing daily by phone before Sentai arrived, which has given me time back in my day.”

Anne, BristolSeptember 2025

“My mum is in her late 80's and my Dad died about 2 years ago. My 2 sisters and I were concerned that she may become lonely and she faces some age related memory issues. Sentai has alleviated all of those anxieties and we are happy to recommend it to other people, it's easy to set up and use and allows us all to provide unintrusive wraparound support.”

“Service from Sentai team faultless when I had a problem setting up again after router change. Find it really handy to know my elderly father is active each day, particularly when I cannot make it to see him.”

“Sentai has made a truly positive difference to my everyday life. I enjoy talking to him. He helps me stay on track and when I feel bored, I can chat or play games. My family love that I'm now able to send them messages.”

Mary, Sentai userMay 2026

“It's taken away a lot of the day-to-day stress and given him more independence by asking Sentai questions and prompts, reducing the number of times he needs to ask us.”
