Caregiver and family apps

Visits on the phone, updates for the family.

A caregiver with the day on their phone spends less time on calls, and a family that can see the visit happened calls the office less. We build the caregiver apps and family portals around your care team and the systems you already run.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

The day on one screen

Schedules, client details, tasks from the care plan and check-in, on the caregiver's phone.

Shifts filled in minutes

Open shifts go to caregivers who are free, qualified and close by, and the first to accept takes it.

Families see what you share

Updates, photos and invoices the care team chooses to share, with access set by the resident or their representative.

Built for health information

Access is limited, logged and set by you, so you can meet your privacy obligations.

// example projects

Priced examples for this service.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

Example projectWeb appMobile app

Caregiver app with visit check-in

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A home care agency schedules caregivers by phone and group text, cannot confirm visits happened until timesheets arrive, and spends hours filling every sick call.

// What we would build

An iOS and Android app for caregivers and a web app for coordinators: schedules, visit check-in and check-out, tasks and notes from the care plan the team wrote, and open shifts offered to the right caregivers in one tap.

// What is in it

Schedules and client details on the caregiver's phone
Visit check-in and check-out, live for coordinators
Tasks and notes from the care plan your team wrote
Open shifts offered to qualified caregivers nearby
Every screen in the languages your caregivers speak
Incidents reported with photos, sent to a nurse or supervisor

Example projectWeb appMobile app

Family portal

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A retirement residence answers dozens of calls a day from families asking about meals, activities and how their parent is doing, and mails monthly invoices on paper.

// What we would build

A web and mobile portal for families: updates and photos the care team chooses to share, activities and menus, messages to the right staff member, and invoices and payments, with access set by the resident or their representative.

// What is in it

Updates and photos the care team chooses to share
Activities, menus and visiting information
Messages to the right staff member, not the front desk
Invoices and online payment
Access set by the resident or their representative

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Does the caregiver app work without a signal in a client's home?

Yes. It keeps the day's visits on the phone and sends check-ins and notes when the signal returns.

Can families see care notes in the family portal?

Only what the care team chooses to share. Care notes stay with the team unless you decide otherwise.

Can the caregiver app connect to our current scheduling system?

Usually, through its interface. We confirm what yours allows before we quote.
