  6. 15:00Diaries written

    A short note on each person’s day, shared straight to the family portal.

    Drop-offs ticked off, and the month’s invoices add themselves up.

For your members

Their own calm, predictable space: today’s sessions, nine sensory activities, a video library you choose, and a “how I feel” check-in.

For your staff

Staff sign in on a phone or tablet to take the register, tick off transport, give medicines and write diaries — without the admin pages.

For families

Families see when someone’s arrived, read the day’s diary, and let you know about days off — so fewer phone calls first thing.
