The full story
Every visit, update, and decision in one calm place.
Shared responsibility
Everyone knows what needs doing—and who owns it.
Business care
Review provider clients, assigned caregivers, and care recipients without opening private care content.
No provider organization is connected to this account yet.
Settings
Most sections stay closed until you need them. If something needs attention, Porchlight Relay opens that section automatically.
Privacy reminder: use short labels and only the details caregivers need.
You have a pending invitation to review.
This care circle is set up for family caregivers coordinating care for loved ones.
Create a separate private circle for another person you help care for.
Choose where caregiver alerts should go. These preferences apply to your login.
Customize how this person is labeled for your login without changing what other caregivers see.
Update names, timezone, weather, sounds, and day-page wording.
Permanently removes this recipient’s one-time setup links, day-page devices, medications, messages, tasks, schedule items, shopping and notes, and related history.
Manage the tablets or laptops that can open the care recipient’s private day page. Create a one-time setup link only when adding a new device.
Cancel unused setup links, or sign out a device if it is lost, replaced, or no longer used. Creating a new setup link cancels older unused setup links for this recipient.
This link expires in seven days, stops working after it is opened once, and should be opened only on the device being paired.
Choose the order of the main cards on the day page.
Review caregiver accounts, signed-in devices, day-page devices, and approved support access.
Each person should use their own account with only the access they need.
Use the lowest access that works. Owners can change members, settings, tablet access, support access, and data controls; make someone an owner only if they should help manage the care circle.
Review where your account is signed in. Sign out anything you do not recognize.
Porchlight groups sign-ins when they are from a remembered browser or look similar. Use this as a helpful hint, not proof that two sign-ins are the exact same physical device.
If you contact Porchlight support, share this ID so support can find the correct care circle. This ID does not give anyone access by itself.
Owner-only checks that help confirm the app, reminders, email, and text delivery are working.
Owner-only log of recent email and text delivery attempts. Private care details are not shown here.
Delivery attempts will appear here after notifications are sent.
Owner-only history of security and caregiving changes. The newest 50 events are shown.
Only an owner can approve a named Porchlight support person. Access is read-only, expires automatically, and can be removed immediately.
Connect this care circle to a provider organization. This creates a management shell without exposing care notes, medication details, or messages.
Download a readable copy of this care circle, or permanently delete it.
Optional password-free sign-in using Face ID, Windows Hello, your phone, or a security key.
Passkeys make sign-in easier and harder to steal. Add them only on devices you control, and remove any passkey from a lost, shared, sold, or replaced device.
Day page
Enter only what caregivers need for a reminder. Generic labels like "Morning meds" are safer than listing medication names when possible.
Day page
This will appear in the “Today’s plan” section.
Schedule titles and details appear on the recipient's day page. Keep wording simple and avoid private medical details.
