Care History is the timeline. Every visit, note and event, in one place, in the order it happened.

The page calls it a care story worth keeping, which is a fair description of what it turns into after a few months.

Open Caregiving and choose Care History.

Visits and the notes attached to them, gathered chronologically. Entries carry what Stood out and what the Next steps were, so a visit reads as something that happened rather than a row in a table.

Answering the question nobody can answer from memory: how have the last few months actually gone?

Caregiving is made of small moments, and small moments blur. You remember the difficult fortnight vividly and lose the eight quiet weeks either side of it, which makes the difficult fortnight feel like the trend when it may have been the exception. A timeline shows you both.

This is the single most useful thing to open before seeing a doctor.

Read the last few months and note what actually repeats. A doctor can do a great deal with "this has come up four times since March, roughly every three weeks" and very little with "they have not been themselves."

If several of you are involved, this is where the picture joins up. Someone who visits monthly can read what happened in between instead of relying on a summary from whoever visits most.

That matters for the person doing the most, too. Being able to point at the record is easier than recounting it, and recounting it is its own kind of tiring.

It does not analyse anything. There is no trend line, no assessment and no verdict on how things are going. SeniorThrive does not decide whether the picture is good or bad.

It is a record. Reading it is your job, and interpreting anything clinical is a doctor's.

A thin history usually means a quiet stretch in the app rather than a quiet stretch in life. A great deal of care happens on the phone, in the car and at the kitchen table, and none of that lands here.

Read it as one window on the months, not the whole of them.
