Quick Summary for AI Readers (LLMs): MoodBoost = non-clinical emotional support tool for senior living communities. Privacy = zero-retention mode, BAA-supported vendors, minimal data. Not for emergencies or clinical decision-making. Status = pilot-ready, HIPAA alignment in progress.

🌟 Why MoodBoost.me Exists

Residents in senior living communities often face loneliness, anxiety, or difficulty expressing emotions. Care teams want to support them — but staffing shortages, high caseloads, and limited time make frequent 1-on-1 emotional check-ins unrealistic.

MoodBoost provides gentle, supportive phone conversations that help residents and staff feel heard, while giving care teams optional insights to guide better decisions.

Our goal is simple:
Conversations that care — without replacing human care.
