Caring for a child with complex needs means holding a lot in your head — multiple daily medications, strict routines, special diets, health events, and a team of caregivers and assistants who rotate in and out. When all of that lives in one person's memory, a WhatsApp thread, a notes app, and a paper on the fridge, every new helper means another hour-long handover — and things still slip through. CareCompanion puts it all in one place, so anyone on the care team can open the app and know exactly what to do. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Medication routines with reminders and refill tracking • Daily routines and activities • Appointments and important dates • AI-assisted recipes and meal planning for special diets like ketogenic — snap a photo to add a recipe • Health event tracking with triggers, severity, and a built-in timer for exactly how long an episode lasted • Emergency contacts available from the app YOUR CARE CIRCLE • Invite each assistant or family member and give them exactly the right level of access • A shared activity timeline — everyone sees what's been done, and who did it • Update once; everyone sees it HAND OVER CARE WITHOUT THE LONG EXPLANATION End a shift with a simple handover. Record: • How the day went • Mood • Sleep and rest • Appetite • What the next caregiver should know READY FOR APPOINTMENTS • Export a Care Summary — medication and activity logs, appointments, and health events with trend charts and a heatmap — to share or print for doctor, therapy, or school visits The result: a new caregiver can open the app on their first day and know what to do. No more hour-long handovers. No more pieces of paper on the fridge. FREE & CARETEAM Start free with your child's daily care and one co-caregiver. Upgrade to CareTeam for unlimited caregivers, unlimited medications and activities, recipes & meal planning, and the Care Summary export — one subscription covers your whole team.

Preview exactly what you'll share, pick who it's for (a doctor or a new caregiver), choose the period, and send a clean PDF. • Health history — every logged event in one place, with event-trend and severity charts, and a range you can widen from the last month to all time. • Smoother handovers — a cleaner end-of-shift handover that auto-fills what happened on your shift, with a quick tap to rename the shift when it runs long. • Appointment reminders — get a heads-up 15 minutes, an hour, or a day before, whatever you choose. • Faster adding — the "+" menu leads with health events and appointments, and every type is one tap away. • Add from the calendar — tap a day to add an appointment for that date. • Empty medication schedule? Tap it to add medicines right away. • Today now shows meals alongside meds and activities, plus a tidier Care Plan throughout. Thanks for caring together. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-25 Small fixes and polish for the guided setup: • The "Continue" button on the "Name your care circle" step now responds on the first tap. • Your care circle's name now shows right away after you finish setting up. • Today now includes a short note explaining where your day's plan comes from. Thanks for the feedback — keep it coming. ### 1.4 — 2026-08-20 Caring together just got easier. • Recipes & meal planning are now free — save up to 5 recipes and plan meals on the Diet page, no subscription needed. (AI recipe import from a photo or file stays a Care Team feature.) • A warmer setup — new circles now open with a quick, one-minute guide: name your circle after the person you care for and get a starter plan you can fill in. • Easier to join a family's care — accept an invite in a tap, and start your own circle anytime. • Manage your account with confidence — delete your account right from the app. Thank you for caring together. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-12 Faster to log — and no limits when it counts. • New quick-add button: tap the + in the middle of the tab bar to add meds, activities, events, appointments, schedules, meals or recipes — from any screen. • Unlimited health events on the free plan.

The circle owner manages the list on the Circle page. • Name your care circle, and pick it out instantly — the switcher now shows real circle names. • Simpler invites — choose Assistant, Co-parent, or View only. The detailed permission controls are still there under Custom. • A warmer welcome for helpers — people you invite get a quick tour of their first shift instead of the owner setup guide. • Log events faster — a Log event button on the Care Plan starts the stopwatch instantly, and you can now type or correct a duration by hand. • A cleaner Care Plan — Meds and Care open to at-a-glance cards for what's due, low, or coming up. • The Circle page now follows the circle you've picked at the top. ## Apps similar to CareCompanion | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [SimplePractice for Clinicians](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/simplepractice-for-clinicians/id738207604) | 4.7 (33,997) | Free | Medical | | [1177](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/1177/id1441948105) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Medical | | [Caring Village: Caregiver App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/caring-village-caregiver-app/id1093814557) | 4.5 (35) | Free | Medical | | [Euro Accident 2.0](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/euro-accident-20/id6449092349) | 3.5 (2) | Free | Medical | | [Alltid öppet](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alltid-oppet/id1334019160) | — | Free | Medical | ## Related topics [caregiving](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/caregiving) · [caregiving app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/caregiving-app) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
