House Clock
A four-part clock moves through First Light, Midday, Shared Evening and Quiet Close. Each moment pairs an illustration with a practical reflection.
Twelve purposeful modules
Features
A detailed tour of the House Clock, Doorline, Common Table, local question thread, sources and privacy controls.
Twelve complete modules
Each screen has a specific orientation job.
The modules are not decorative routes around identical cards. The clock, door ring, table, room readings, nearness dial, visitor timeline and local question thread use different information structures to help an adult notice different parts of shared-home life.
Fourteen Doorline
Fourteen prompts explore private space, personal routines, visitors, everyday movement and the balance between independence and company.
Common Table
Eight optional conversation topics help an adult prepare questions about shared meals, preferences, guests and the housekeeper role.
Shared Rooms
Seven illustrated readings distinguish private studio, ensuite, lounge, dining room, kitchen, garden and arrival spaces.
Masterton Nearness
Six local lenses cover shopping, cafés, cinema, library, Queen Elizabeth Park and the return home without using GPS or a live map.
Getting Around
Parking, mobility-scooter storage, walking, arranged rides, visitor arrival and a change-of-plan prompt are presented without accessibility guarantees.
Visitor Chime
An eight-step sequence supports appointment, health, visitor-book, privacy and household-respect conversations.
House Roles
Resident, housekeeper and local stewardship are explained as separate roles; none is presented as nursing or personal care.
My Visit Thread
A user can select up to six preset questions. The selection stays on the device and is never submitted, exported or scored.
Image Hours
Forty-seven fictional editorial scenes can be viewed one at a time with clear non-documentary captions.
Source Cabinet
Dated official references show where the house facts came from and which current matters still need direct confirmation.
Privacy Center
Eighteen numbered sections explain the exact local-only behavior, deletion controls, security limits and publisher contact.
Private interaction
Preset choices without a personal dossier.
A user may select table topics, one nearness lens and up to six visit questions. The app stores only small preset identifiers in Android app-private preferences. There is no name, free text, health detail, financial information, contact, document, upload or score.
Reset local choices, Android Clear storage or uninstall removes the state. Backup and device transfer are disabled.
Accessible by design
Text remains the primary path.
Custom diagrams have equivalent buttons and readable explanations. Touch targets are generous, pages scroll instead of clipping, contrast is deliberate, and a Reduce Motion preference removes entrance movement without hiding content.
What to verify on a real visit
Room suitability, current meal arrangements, parking allocation, mobility-scooter access, visitor expectations, costs, eligibility and the official enquiry process all require current local confirmation.
A useful next step
Carry questions into a real conversation.
The app and this site offer orientation, not live vacancy, price, eligibility, tenancy, care or accessibility decisions. Confirm current arrangements through the official Abbeyfield process and involve a trusted supporter or independent adviser when helpful.
