Stay Connected: The Family Portal for Seamless Resident Updates

In an ideal world, families would visit their loved ones at retirement communities frequently to check in on them, ensuring they are well cared for and content. However, distance, time constraints, and other commitments often make this challenging. Therefore, family members might resort to calling or emailing the home for updates on what a resident ate, the activities they’ve participated in, and their overall well-being. While this method works, it is far from efficient, both for the families and the already busy staff members.

What if there was a better option that homes could offer to the families of residents? An option that provides seamless updates while offloading work from the staff?

Introducing the Family Portal 

Continyou Care‘s Family Portal is a solution designed to keep families connected with their loved ones in retirement communities. This portal offers real-time access to vital information, transforming the way families and staff interact and share updates.

Real-Time Access 

One of the standout features of the  Family Portal is its real-time access. Families can see how their loved ones are doing without waiting for callbacks or email replies. The portal provides updates on things such as dining & activities, ensuring families are always in the loop.

Online Requests 

The Family Portal also offers a convenient online request system. Family members can book meals, request maintenance, and schedule activities for their loved ones. This feature not only empowers families to be more involved but also streamlines the process for the staff, reducing their workload and improving efficiency.

Keeping the connection strong between residents and their families is crucial. The  Family Portal makes it easier by allowing family members to schedule visits, both virtual and in-person. This feature is especially beneficial for those who live far away or have busy schedules, ensuring they can maintain regular contact with their loved ones.

Easy Integration 

The integration capabilities of the  Family Portal  are another significant advantage.
