Unified care circle
One feed. Everyone stays looped in.
Primary caregiver, secondary caregivers, paid aides, siblings, viewers — each with their own role and permissions. Meds, calendar, vitals, activity — one shared surface.
- Roles: primary caregiver, caregiver, aide, family, viewer.
- Per-patient silos — a hired aide only sees the patient they're paid to help.
- Recurring events + custom reminders (daily, weekly, monthly).
- Real-time activity feed so anyone can catch up in 30 seconds.

Add people with a role
Primary caregiver, caregiver, paid aide, family, viewer. The role decides what each person can see and change.
Illustrative interface — the caregiver app is where this happens.
Why roles matter more than sharing
Most families end up coordinating care in a group chat, which quietly means everyone can see everything forever. That is fine until a paid aide, an ex-spouse, or a well-meaning cousin is in the thread, and it stops being fine the moment the information is medical.
KinBridge treats access as a property of the relationship. Each person joins with a role, and each role carries a specific set of permissions. Just as importantly, access is scoped per care recipient: if you are caring for two parents, the aide hired for one of them sees exactly one care circle, not both. When someone leaves the circle, access ends immediately rather than depending on them deleting an app.
On top of that sits the boring machinery that makes shared care work — recurring events, custom reminders on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence, and an activity feed that records who marked a dose taken. It is the difference between four people hoping someone gave Dad his evening medication and four people knowing.

How a care circle stays in sync
Most caregiving falls apart in the gaps between people. One sibling took Dad to the cardiologist, another booked the follow-up, the aide was never told about the new dose, and nobody is sure who called the pharmacy.
A KinBridge care circle gives everyone one shared record of the person they are caring for: medications, appointments, documents, vitals, and the running history of what has already been tried. Invite by email or text, and each person joins with the access you choose — a sibling three states away can read everything and comment, while the weekend aide sees only that day's schedule and instructions.
Work is assigned rather than assumed. Tasks have an owner and a due date, reminders reach the person actually on duty, and when something is done everyone sees it done. The awkward group chat where three people apologise for double-calling the clinic simply stops happening.
Roles can change as circumstances do. Promote a sibling to primary caregiver while you travel, pause an aide's access when a shift ends, or remove someone entirely — access changes take effect immediately and every change is logged.
Nothing about the care circle is visible to an employer. If KinBridge came through work, your employer sees that a benefit was used, never what happened inside it.
Frequently asked questions
- How many people can join a care circle?
- As many as you need. Family Free covers one care recipient with unlimited circle members; paid plans add more care recipients rather than more people.
- Can I limit what a paid aide sees?
- Yes. Aides and helpers can be restricted to schedules, tasks and instructions without access to claims, documents or full medical history.
- What happens if the primary caregiver becomes unavailable?
- Another member can be promoted to primary caregiver so decisions and invites are never blocked by one person's absence.
- Does the person being cared for control their own record?
- Yes, when they want to. A care recipient can be invited to their own portal to see and correct what is held about them.
