Six things Binda does well.
Built around the real moments of care — the 9am medication, the handoff at the end of a shift, the family member calling from across the country to ask how Mom is doing.
Medications
You're at work. Your phone shows Mom missed her 9am dose. Binda tells you who was there, what happened, and whether it's been handled — without making you feel like you've failed.
Status colors are calm by design: sage green for given, soft clay-rose for missed. Never red. Caregivers can attach a photo of the medication; the log is permanent and timestamped.
Shifts & timekeeping
Maria clocks in at 9am. The family can see she's with Mom. At the end of the visit she writes a quick handoff note, then generates a shift report — one tap, private link, no app needed to read it.
Supports clock-in/out and submitted timesheets, configured per caregiver by the care manager. Hours roll up for approval.
Notes & observations
James noticed Dad seemed more confused than usual after lunch. He logs it under mood with a quick note. The care manager sees it. Family doesn't — unless the manager decides they should.
Tagged observations (mood, meals, sleep, mobility, fluids, pain) build a picture over time that's genuinely useful at the next doctor's appointment.
Doctors & appointments
Dr. Reyes is at 11:30am Thursday. Maria can see it, add a note beforehand, and request the follow-up. Susan confirms and schedules. Everyone stays on the same page.
A full provider directory with contact info, upcoming appointments, and scheduling coordination between caregivers and the family manager.
Family update feed
Your brother lives across the country. He loves Dad but doesn't want to be a project manager. The family feed shows him what matters — “Dad had a calm afternoon” — without flooding his phone.
Hearts and comments. Updates posted by caregivers and managers. Reassuring, not alarming. Clinical notes stay in a separate, access-controlled area.
Care team & permissions
Susan wants the whole family to see the update feed, but not the hours and expenses. Maria can log medications but not see the budget. Binda makes this easy to set up and easy to change.
Role presets for caregivers, family, and doctors cover most situations. Granular per-section overrides when you need them.
New in Binda
For the carer, not just the care.
Four things added this autumn, each because a real family needed it.
A weekly check-in on how you are doing
Three short question sets — how you're feeling, the strain of caring, how it's going — private to you, with plain-language results and resources that fit your situation. Ask your circle for a hand without sharing your answers.
If a result suggests you need someone now, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is shown first, every time. Not a screening tool and not medical advice.
Respite workers, without the whole history
Invite short-term help as a respite worker. They see today's schedule and medications, write their own visit notes, and get a plain 60-day summary of the key issues — not your family's notes.
Pause them between visits and resume when they're back, or set an end date and it happens on its own.
Support for dementia and Alzheimer's
Tell Binda the diagnosis and Home offers short guides — what to expect, communication that works, sundowning, wandering, eating, bathing, sleep, when to call the doctor, and looking after yourself — plus suggested daily tasks you add with one tap.
General information for family carers, not medical advice. Always follow your own clinician.
Your day, in one place
Today's care at a glance: what's done, what's still to do, and who has it. If you're the one doing the hands-on care, tell Binda and Home changes with you — the next dose, today's tasks, and no empty "who's on shift".
If a program reimburses you for caring, turn on logging your own time and expenses.
In depth
Go deeper on any of it.
Twelve pages on how Binda actually works — how a team gets set up, how the day runs, what gets written down, and who can see what.
Care team onboarding
Set up a circle, bring people in with the right access, put the documents and agreements somewhere everyone can find them.
Team communications
Notes, photos, AI summaries, alerts, and a family feed that reassures without flooding anyone's phone.
Medications
Schedules, on-shift reminders, a photo check when a dose is given, and a quiet flag when one is missed.
Tasks & checklists
The routine that makes a good visit, turned into a shift checklist where a skip is never silent.
Hours & expenses
Clock in, submit a timesheet, or both. Expenses and mileage with receipts, approved by the person paying.
Roles & permissions
What a doctor sees, what family sees, what a caregiver sees — by preset, then by section when you need it.
Notes & summaries
The shared care journal, replies and mentions, and the plain summary of the week or month that a doctor or a respite worker can read in a minute.
Doctors & appointments
A provider directory, visits past and coming, caregiver requests, insurance details, and inviting a doctor with limited access.
Documents & agreements
The power of attorney, the advance directive, insurance cards and discharge summaries in one private place — plus simple care agreements.
Family feed
The calm, readable version of the day for everyone who loves her — shared on purpose, separate from the clinical detail.
Caregiver wellbeing & resources
A private weekly check-in, resources that fit, dementia and Alzheimer's guides, and 988 first when a result is concerning.
Respite workers
Short-term help that writes its own notes and reads a 60-day summary — not the family's notes — and can be paused between visits.
