FREE COVID-19 App – Keeping people safe, connected and informed virtually

Thursday 13th August 2020: Aged Care Facilities (RACF) are facing unique challenges during this era of COVID-19. With many facilities in various states in lock down, how do facilities communicate efficiently and effectively to families? How can a facility keep residents connected with their families and loved ones while in lockdown?

Checked In Care is extending the offer for the FREE COVID-19 App to help Providers, at the front line of care, to both prepare in case of an impending lock down, or to help facilities in current lock down.

The COVID-19 App allows facilities to communicate with staff and families, either personally or as a broadcast to a group, quickly. This easy-to-use App also allows residents to have secure video and photo sharing with their loved ones.

 The COVID-19 App provides immediate benefits of:

  • 1- 1, 1-many and broadcast messaging – Allows you to personalize your messaging to individuals, or groups, or whole RACF sites, or whole organisational wide groups.
  • Confidential Communication – Customize communication for staff, and/or residents and/or family and /or other members of the community.
  • Increase staff efficiency – Over 60% of the communication during COVID is ad hoc individual inquiries. Minimize these inquiries through the customer self-service COVID app platform. Take control of communications via the “two click” communications management console.
  • Reduce Social Isolation with minimal staff effort – Enable families to book multi party video calls between your sites, residents and family members. Activate your volunteer base, where possible to assist in the calls.
  • What’s happening updates with photo and video sharing – Two way updates between Providers and Families
  • For FREE – as part of our way to help the industry, we are providing our software for free during the COVID lock down period.

Checked In Care, via its Connect App platform, has been providing direct, transparent and dynamic information for clients, staff and families of the Australian Aged Care sector since 2015. The Connect App has helped to reduce family stress levels, as they have up to date information on their loved one’s health status.
