Somebody has asked you to join their Circle. Accepting takes about two minutes and costs you nothing.
How it works
Open the invitation. It arrives either as an email from SeniorThrive, or as a link the person texted you directly.
Tap the link.
Create your account: your name, your email, and a password. The Circle you are joining is already filled in, so there is nothing to look up.
Verify your email, and you are in.
You do not need a payment method. Whoever invited you is on the plan; joining a Circle never asks you for a card.
If the email never arrived
Check your spam folder first. Invitations land there more often than anywhere else.
If it is genuinely not there, ask the person who invited you to send you a private link instead. They can copy it and text it to you, and a link arriving in a message you were expecting tends to get opened. It is the same invitation either way.
If you left it a while
A family invitation is good for 14 days. A professional caregiver invitation is good for 7 days. After that the link stops working, and the fix is simply to ask for a fresh one. Nothing is lost and nobody has to start over.
If you are asked to wait
Occasionally you will accept and then be told you are waiting for approval. That is not about you.
A plan covers two people, and everyone after that is a paid seat. Rather than quietly adding a charge, SeniorThrive asks the person paying to confirm first. Nothing expires while you wait and there is no clock on their decision. You will get in as soon as they say yes.
What happens once you are in
You will see the parts of their SeniorThrive they have chosen to share with you, and nothing else. That is their call, not a reflection of how much they trust you, and they can change it at any time without telling anyone.
