If a family has invited you to join their SeniorThrive as a professional caregiver, welcome. The family has chosen to bring you in because they trust you with one of the most important parts of their loved one's life. SeniorThrive's job is to make your job easier.
The invitation you will get
The family sends you an invitation by email. It comes from SeniorThrive, with the family's name in the subject line. Inside, there is a short welcome note and a link that says Accept invitation.
You cannot sign yourself up as a caregiver. The invitation has to come from the family, and the family has to be on the Essential plan.
If you do not see the invitation, check your spam folder. If you still do not see it, ask the family to resend it from their dashboard.
Step by step
Tap Accept invitation in your email.
You will land on a sign-up page already set to I am a professional caregiver. The older adult's name and the family that invited you are pre-filled.
Create your account: first name, last name, email (use your professional one if you have one), and a password.
Add a few details about your work: your role (caregiver, home health aide, private nurse), your certifications if any, and the hours you typically work.
Verify your email, and you are in.
What you will see on day one
You will land on My Shift, your own caregiver workspace, which is built around the work you actually do rather than the family's dashboard. Today's overview and schedule. The current care plan and task list. Medications the family has recorded, on the client profile. Recent vitals. A handoff summary showing what changed since your last visit and anything the previous caregiver flagged. A message thread with the family.
If you work with more than one SeniorThrive family, you switch between clients from the same place.
A separate article, Your first week: for a professional caregiver, walks through what to do in those first few visits.
How pricing works
You do not pay anything to use SeniorThrive. The family pays $15 a month for each caregiver they invite.
There is no free trial for a caregiver seat, and there is no way to buy one on its own.
If the family ever ends the arrangement, you will lose access to their Circle. You keep your own work record. The notes you wrote about the older adult belong to the household and stay with it.
One thing to know about check-in
When you check in for a visit, SeniorThrive captures your location once at check-in and once at check-out. Never in between, and never in the background. You will see a plain-language notice explaining this before your first visit.
If you would rather not share your location, you can still check in. You pick a reason instead.
A note on scope
SeniorThrive is a coordination tool. It does not replace your clinical judgment, your agency's documentation requirements, or your chain of supervision. It complements them. The family still owns their loved one's care. You still own your professional standards. SeniorThrive is the shared place where both come together.
