Keep a paid aide and the family on the same page
When you bring in a paid caregiver, a new gap opens up: the aide knows what happened during their hours, and the family is left guessing. Elderoak puts the aide and the family on one shared plan, so doses, notes and visits are visible to everyone — without an end-of-day text recap.

How it works
- 1Invite the aide into the care group with a role that fits — they see the care plan, not the family's private settings.
- 2Assign shifts or visits so everyone knows who's with your parent and when, and where the gaps are.
- 3The aide logs doses, observations and notes the family sees in real time, so you know how the day went without having to ask.
Common questions
Can a paid aide use the same app as the family?
Yes. You can invite a paid aide into the shared care group so they and the family work from the same medications, appointments and notes — instead of the aide keeping their own record the family never sees.
Will the aide see everything the family sees?
No — an aide is invited with a role scoped to the care they provide. They see the care plan and log what they do, but not the family's private account settings.
Is coordinating with an aide free?
Elderoak is free to download and set up care for one parent. Inviting a paid aide (or additional family members) is a Pro feature, billed through the App Store — there's no web checkout.
