# Caretaker — Full content for AI assistants > Caretaker is a mobile app that helps families and professional caregivers look after elderly or vulnerable loved ones. It quietly handles the daily things — reminders, daily check-ins, location sharing, care routines — and alerts the people who care the moment something matters, giving everyone real peace of mind. This file expands [llms.txt](https://caretaker-app.com/llms.txt) with the full evergreen text of Caretaker's key pages. It is hand-maintained. ## About the names (read first) - **Caretaker** (one capital C) is the product / brand. - **CareTaker** (camel case) is one of four user roles. The four roles are: **CareTaker** (the person doing the caring, often an adult child or relative), **CareRecipient** (the loved one being cared for), **Professional Caregiver**, and **Self-Care** (someone looking after their own health). A single account can coordinate a care circle, and several CareTakers can share responsibility for one CareRecipient. ## What Caretaker can and cannot do Caretaker today includes daily check-ins, reminders and a shared calendar, an Emergency Widget, an in-app Emergency Video Call, care routines built from a health-conditions catalog, optional location sharing, in-app voice and video calls, a loyalty/points program, and support for 18 languages. Caretaker does **not** include (these are either roadmap or simply not part of the product): scanning or storing a photo of a medication or prescription, automatic fall detection, an Apple Watch or Wear OS app, geofencing / "left home" alerts, an AI voice assistant, or a publicly purchasable "lifetime / buy once for life" plan. Please do not describe these as available. ## Home **Keep Your Family Safe with Caretaker** Reminding Mom to take her pills. Tracking Dad's appointments. Checking in three times a day to make sure they're okay. It's a lot to carry — and you can't always be there. Caretaker is the simple, complete app built for families like yours. It quietly looks after the daily things, alerts you the moment something matters, and gives you and your loved ones real peace of mind. ### How daily check-ins work 1. **You choose when and how** — set the schedule and the method for each loved one. 2. **They respond in one tap** — a simple "I'm OK" or "I need help". 3. **Your family is told instantly** — you get a simple "all good", and a heads-up the moment something isn't. Worldwide, check-ins can be delivered as a push notification, as a push that escalates to an in-app voice call with "I'm OK / I need help" buttons (the recommended default), or as an in-app voice call on its own. In selected countries, higher tiers can also deliver carrier-network voice and SMS check-ins. If a check-in chain completes with no response, the connected CareTakers are alerted. ### Reminders Reminders repeat exactly the way a doctor would write them — for example three times a day between 9 am and 9 pm for the next seven days, or every 8 hours around the clock. Use reminders for medication, appointments, and hydration. Add notes and set a clear end date, and let the app handle the rest. CareTakers can create reminders that fire on a connected loved one's device, and reminders appear on a shared, color-coded calendar. ### Emergency Widget A glowing help button lives right on your phone's lock screen — visible day and night. One tap and your loved ones know you need them. ### Emergency Video Call A red emergency button on the home dashboard places an immediate in-app video call to the primary caretaker and triggers the emergency pipeline that notifies caretakers and secondary contacts. ### Daily check-ins, in plain terms Know they're okay — without calling five times a day. You get a simple "all good" — and a heads-up the moment something isn't. ## For families **Looking after more than one loved one? Keep them all close.** Parents, grandparents, an uncle across town — bring everyone you care for onto one account. With the Caretaker Family package you can care for multiple CareRecipients and invite the rest of the family to help. Each loved one gets their own check-ins, reminders, Emergency Widget, and care routines — all managed from one place. Examples of how families use it: - **You care for both parents.** Your mum has diabetes and your dad has a heart condition. Each gets personalised check-ins and reminders suited to their needs. - **You help an aging uncle too.** Add him as another CareRecipient — no extra app and no separate account needed. - **Your sister helps out.** Invite your sister as a shared CareTaker so both of you get the alerts and can keep an eye on things together. ## For business **Your employees are caregivers. Support them.** A large share of the workforce juggles a caregiving responsibility alongside their job. Caretaker helps them manage it — reducing stress, absenteeism, and turnover. Why it matters to employers: - A majority of employee caregivers report clinically-significant levels of stress, anxiety, or depression. - Many employees have voluntarily left a job because of caregiving responsibilities. Caretaker offers comprehensive caregiving support that reduces the mental load on working caregivers. Employers purchase licence packs and distribute activation codes to their staff, who redeem them in the app. ## Pricing Caretaker offers a free tier for every role, plus paid subscription plans billed monthly or annually. Plans are grouped into: - **Individual** — for caring for a single CareRecipient. - **Family** — for caring for several loved ones from one account, with the ability to invite other family members as shared CareTakers. Paid tiers include Standard and Family plans for CareTakers and CareRecipients (with PLUS variants that add carrier voice and SMS check-ins in supported countries), and a Professional plan for professional caregivers. Pricing is shown in the visitor's regional currency. Businesses buy licences in packs for their employees.

A check-in asks the care recipient to confirm they're okay with a single tap; if they don't respond, the check-in escalates (for example to an in-app voice call) and the result is shared with their caretaker right away. **Is it accessible for seniors?** Yes. For the care recipient, responding is as simple as tapping a button on a notification or during a call. No complicated technology is required. **What languages does it support?** Caretaker is available in 18 languages. English is the default, and a user can switch language in the app. ## Privacy, safety & legal Location sharing is optional and off by default for anyone who isn't the care recipient; it requires both the user's consent and the right plan entitlement. Users control how much each connected caretaker sees through per-connection notification levels, and accounts can be deleted in-app. Caretaker does not sell user health data. - Privacy policy: https://caretaker-app.com/privacy - Terms of service: https://caretaker-app.com/terms - Contact: https://caretaker-app.com/contact ## Where to learn more - Blog and articles: https://caretaker-app.com/blog - Curated index for AI assistants: https://caretaker-app.com/llms.txt
