Technology and electronic caregiving solutions designed to help seniors live safely, independently and confidently at home.
More independence. More peace of mind. More support when you need it.
At The Frantz Group, our commitment to seniors is simple:
We want to help you Live Your Best Life.
That means more than planning for retirement.
It means helping you create a life that is active, purposeful, connected, safe, and as independent as possible.
Through our Senior Life Planning & Support programs, workshops, and community initiatives, we help seniors think about where they want their lives to go—and how to make it happen.
We also believe the right technology can play an important role.
What Happens When the Caregiver Can’t Be There?
Families today face a growing challenge.
People are living longer. More older adults want to remain in their own homes. Chronic health conditions are common. And families are increasingly trying to provide care with limited time, resources, and professional caregiver availability.
The result is a growing gap between the support a person needs and the care a human being can realistically provide around the clock.
That’s where technology can help.
Meet Addison — An Extra Layer of Support
The Frantz Group has partnered with Electronic Caregiver (ECG) to bring innovative senior living technology to the people and families we serve.
ECG’s Addison is designed to provide an intelligent layer of support in the home—helping seniors maintain independence while helping families and caregivers stay informed and connected.
Think of Addison as an extra layer of support that can be there when a human caregiver cannot.
It doesn’t replace the human connection that is so important to aging well.
It helps extend that connection.
Depending on the solution and configuration, Addison and ECG technologies can support areas such as:
- Medication reminders
- Care-plan support
- Emergency response
- Cognitive engagement
- Guided exercise and wellness activities
- Communication and connection
- Monitoring and awareness
- Family and caregiver supportProducts such as Addison Care, Addison Aware, and PremierUltra are designed to help create a more connected approach to care.
When the Caregiver Steps Away, Support Doesn’t Have To.
This is the idea behind connected care.
A caregiver may visit for an hour.
A family member may call twice a day.
A home-care professional may arrive according to a scheduled plan.
But what happens in between those visits?
Technology can help fill some of those gaps.
At its core, Addison is designed to help make sure:
Someone is paying attention.
Important routines are supported.
Reminders don’t depend entirely on memory.
Care plans can be reinforced.
Families can stay connected.
Support can continue when the human caregiver leaves.
This Is More Than Technology.
It’s another layer of care.
We don’t believe the future of senior living is about choosing between people or technology.
It’s about using technology to make human care better.
Technology can assist with reminders, monitoring, communication, and other repetitive tasks—allowing family members and professional caregivers to spend more time doing what technology cannot:
Connecting. Listening. Encouraging. Comforting. Caring.
That is the promise of connected care.
Helping Seniors Stay Independent. Helping Families Worry Less.
The goal isn’t simply to keep someone at home.
The goal is to help them live well at home.
To preserve dignity.
To support independence.
To encourage healthy routines.
To help families remain connected.
And to provide an additional layer of support when no caregiver can physically be there.

Electronic Caregiver
Technology Designed to Extend Care Beyond the Visit
Founded in 2009, Electronic Caregiver is focused on transforming healthcare from an episodic model—where care primarily happens during scheduled encounters—to a more continuous model that can extend into the home.
ECG provides technologies and services supporting aging adults, individuals living with chronic conditions, caregivers, healthcare providers, and home-care organizations.
Its solutions include areas such as remote patient monitoring, chronic care management, telehealth, emergency response, assistive technologies, and connected care.
The company’s vision aligns closely with ours:
Use technology to help people live safer, healthier, more independent lives while keeping human care at the center.
Why The Frantz Group?
We don’t believe technology should be introduced simply because it is new.
We believe it should solve a real problem in someone’s life.
That’s why Senior Living Technology is an important part of our broader Senior Life Planning & Support philosophy.
We help seniors ask:
What does my best life look like?
How can I remain independent?
What support might I need?
How can I stay connected to the people I love?
What can I do today to make tomorrow better?
Technology can be one important part of that plan.
Your Best Life Shouldn’t Stop Because You’re Getting Older.
It can get better because you planned for it.
And sometimes, the right technology can help make that possible.
