Abstract: Methods and apparatus for in-residence care are disclosed. The methods and apparatus enable a remote care provider to configure a home with a home controller and a plurality of medical and non-medical sensors based on the results of a periodic assessment survey. The remote care provider may also download software to the home controller to allow a new sensor to be connected to the home controller. The remote care provider then monitors data from the sensors electronically and provides services based on the assessment survey. Periodically and/or based on alerts generated in response to the monitored data, the remote care provider conducts virtual visits to the home using an audio/video telecommunications system. A home care provider or other professional may also conduct an actual visit to the home, and data associated with the actual visits may be recorded by the remote care provider.
