Our Story

 

Inspired by Family

 
CarePenguin was inspired by Marlo’s grandmother who wasn’t answering her phone one day. After many missed calls and text messages, her family grew increasingly concerned, especially because Grandma’s sister had just passed away months earlier from a stroke while living alone. Marlo’s family ended up calling security to check in on her and found that she was completely fine.

There must be a way to keep tabs on our loved ones without making them feel like they’re living under a microscope or breaking the bank.

Coming from a family of nerds, Marlo’s father and now CTO of CarePenguin, Todd Vernon came up with a simple, non-invasive, inexpensive solution. We are excited to bring you CarePenguin!
