Ankota offers web screens for patients to see their calendar for care, set up alerts (e.g., medication reminders), and to interact with their care givers by marking their care items as complete. We are also able to provide information to remote family members about how their loved ones in care are doing. For more information about Ankota's Home Care Software, please contact us.
