Questions families ask
Can I see how my relative's visits went?
Yes. Once we've added you to the care circle, you can read visit notes, see which tasks were completed and check medication on the Family App.
Who can see my relative's information?
Only people involved in their care, and family members they've agreed we can invite. Health professionals, such as district nurses or emergency services, can also view recent care records with a secure access code, and we're alerted every time they do. If you use the Family App, you'll only see your own relative's care.
Will I be told if something goes wrong?
Our office reviews any concern a carer raises and decides with you how to share it. If something important happens, we'll contact you directly.
Can I message the carer or change a visit through the app?
No. The Family App lets you see the care being delivered, but it doesn't send messages or make changes. To change a visit or raise anything, call us on [office phone number].
Why is my carer using their phone during the visit?
They're recording the care they've just given, so nothing relies on memory or a paper folder. It's how your care plan and visit notes stay up to date.
What if I'm not comfortable using apps?
You don't need to use the Family App. We're always happy to talk you through how the visits are going on [office phone number].
Remind families what they can see
Families who know about the Family App feel more connected to the care, and call the office less to check on visits. A carousel at launch and an occasional reminder keep it front of mind.
How we care carousel
One visit, step by step: the carer reads the care plan, records each task and medication, and the office sees the visit as it happens. Then what families can see in the Family App, and how to join the care circle. Your logo sits in the bottom corner of every slide.
Use it: when you launch the Family App, then as a reminder every few months on Facebook or Instagram.

What your Q-Score is, the five areas of care behind it, a clear line that it isn't a CQC rating, and an invitation to ask for your latest score. Add your score and the date on slide 4, or delete that slide if you'd rather not share them.
Use it: whenever your score changes, or alongside a CQC report to show how you're doing now.
