ConnectCareHero

ConnectCareHero is a Chicago-based digital health company that provides software for senior living and healthcare organizations to deliver activity programming, communication and documentation for older adults. Its platform, branded Telly, is aimed at nursing homes, adult day cares, community health centers and home health agencies, and is packaged into bundles: an Operations bundle (Telly Staff All, Telly Family App, Telly Resource App) for staff efficiency, family engagement and internal communication; an Engagement bundle (Telly Wall, Telly LIVE, Telly Health Ads, CareHero Marketplace) built around a full-wall interactive experience for residents; and a combined "Fully Telly" bundle.

The product set targets operational pain points described by the company: logging activity data so teams remain ready for state audits and surveys, providing 24/7 on-demand content to cover evenings and weekends when staffing is thin, running live interactive programming to counter social isolation, offering content in 9+ languages for culturally relevant engagement, tracking participation data to flag at-risk residents, and allowing staff to update programming remotely. Earlier descriptions of the service centered on curated virtual activities — uploaded and live performances including magic, comedy, music and cooking shows — delivered to residents and families through TVs, tablets, desktops and smartphones, with scheduling driven by resident demographics, and a model in which a nursing home can hire a performer and stream the session through the platform.

The company describes itself as a digital health platform using culturally relevant content to keep older adults socially connected and improve health outcomes, and says it supports older adults both at home and in care settings.
