Edmonton, Alberta — Indigenous-Owned Social Enterprise
A warm voice on a regular phone. No app, no smartphone, no setup required. Just someone to talk to — and someone to call you if something feels wrong.
Your parent calls the same way they have called anyone for sixty years. No smartphone. No app. No video call. Just the phone on the wall — the one they already trust.
A warm, patient voice asks how they're doing. Sunny listens. Knows what Margaret said last Tuesday. Knows not to rush. Knows when to ask another question — and when to simply be quiet.
If something feels off — a missed check-in, an unusual response — you receive a gentle nudge. Not a data report. Not surveillance. Just: she seemed low today. You might call.
of Canadian seniors do not own a smartphone — the only demographic still growing on landlines.
ElliQ costs $149 per month and arrives as a robot. CarePredict is a wearable. GrandPad is a tablet. They all assume your parent is comfortable with new technology, willing to learn, and able to remember to charge a device.
Not Margaret. Not the 240,000 seniors over 65 in Edmonton alone — a number projected to surge 121% by 2030. Not the 46% of Canadian seniors who still rely on a landline as their primary connection to the world.
Social isolation is now classified as a health risk equivalent to smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. The solution is not a new gadget. The solution is the phone they already answer.
"Sunny forgets every word — so you never have to worry about every word." Zero Audio Retention — Always
HeySunny Care Inc. is structured from day one to give. A minimum of 2% of all gross revenue flows directly to the Edmonton Community Foundation's donor-advised fund — designated for dental, hearing, physiotherapy, and counselling for low-income Edmonton seniors.
This is not a marketing line. It is written into our articles of incorporation. Every disbursement is published as a signed, cryptographically verifiable Nostr event — transparent on the public record, permanently.
HeySunny was founded by Sean Morin, Cree, from Edmonton's inner city. The seniors this program is designed to protect are the same community that raised him. This work is personal.
Dental. Hearing. Physiotherapy. Counselling. For Edmonton seniors who can't access the care they need to stay healthy and connected.
Sunny is designed to complement the work of home care agencies, caregiver networks, and long-term care facilities — not compete with them. We want to be the warm voice that calls between your visits.
Interested in bringing Sunny to the seniors you serve? Let's talk about what a partnership looks like for your organization.
Start a ConversationWe're running a small, carefully managed pilot in the Edmonton area — twenty-five households. Families who want to stay connected without turning their parent's home into a surveillance device.
No cost during the pilot. No commitment after. Honest feedback from real use. And a conversation that might matter to someone you love.
Care organizations and home care agencies: we're also looking for two or three institutional pilot partners to help us understand how Sunny fits into existing care workflows.
