One Care Circle
Keep the recipient, care plan, people and activity inside a private shared space.
Shared care coordination
Make shared family care clear, accountable and easier to hand over
Alongside is a family care coordination app built around current care state, not a general chat. A Care Circle shows the plan, responsibilities, completed care, unresolved items and important changes.
Download AlongsideWhy families use Alongside
Replace scattered updates with a shared operational record
Calendars, notes and message threads each hold part of the picture. Alongside connects scheduled care, ownership and history so a family can understand the current state without combining several tools.
Inside Alongside
Keep important care changes in one attributable history
The Timeline records care activity with its person and time, giving the whole family a shared history instead of scattered updates.
Shown with fictional demonstration care information.
What Alongside helps you do
Keep the current state of care understandable
Explicit roles
Organizers manage the Circle, caregivers can help with care, and viewers can stay informed without changing records.
Visible ownership
Care items show who is responsible, while claimable work makes gaps easier to resolve.
Realtime updates
When care changes, other active members receive the canonical update without refreshing a group thread.
A practical example
A reliable answer to “What needs attention?”
Instead of asking several people for updates, a returning caregiver can open Today and Handoff to see missed or overdue care, recent changes, completed work and what is coming next.
Alongside can fit
- Families sharing ongoing care responsibilities
- Care teams that need clear roles and history
- Households coordinating recovery or chronic illness support
- Organizers who need viewers to stay informed without editing care
Common questions
Questions about shared care coordination
What is family care coordination?
Family care coordination is the practical work of keeping people, responsibilities, schedules and updates aligned around someone receiving care.
Is Alongside a family chat app?
No. Alongside includes contextual comments, but it is designed around structured care records, ownership, status and history rather than a general-purpose chat feed.
How are permissions managed?
Care Circle membership and roles determine access. Organizers manage members and high-impact settings; caregivers can help with care; viewers have read-only access.
