An older woman and a younger relative enjoy a warm visit together in a bright care-home room

Granny lives in a care home now. We can still see how she's doing.

When they can't check-in themselves

They don’t need a smartphone to stay connected.

Create a profile for your relative in the family Bubble. Whenever someone visits, they can check in on their behalf and add a short update or photo. Everyone sees how they are doing, without asking the person in the care home to manage an app or learn new technology.

Plan visits together

More connection. Fewer crossed wires.

See who stopped by, how the visit went, and what might be helpful next time. One sibling can share that Dad was in good spirits, while another can plan the next visit instead of duplicating calls and messages. The same approach can also help the family stay coordinated during a temporary hospital stay.

A family check-in app for care homes and retirement homes

When a loved one lives in a care home, not every family member can visit as often as they'd like. With Knuff, the family member who visits can check in afterwards and share a quick update. Everyone else can see at a glance that Granny is in the green and catch up on visit updates in one shared place, without scrolling through group chats, calling the care home for updates, or expecting Granny to use a phone herself.

  • Check in after every visit

    A relative can leave a quick sign, note, or photo on the resident’s behalf so everyone knows how the visit went.

  • Coordinate family visits

    When Alzheimer's, dementia, or memory loss makes staying in touch difficult, family members can share visit updates and coordinate who visits next, without relying on their loved one to keep everyone in the loop.

  • Their profile, when they want it

    If they later use a smartphone or tablet, they can take over their profile and check in for themselves at any time.
