At tendercare, we understand that supporting family members is often a team effort. That's why we're thrilled to announce our most significant update yet: collaboration features that make it easier than ever to coordinate care with your support network.

Introducing Shared Vaults

Our new Shared Vaults feature lets you securely share information with family members, friends, or professional caregivers. Here's what you can do:

• Give view-only or full edit access to trusted team members

• Send invites directly from the app via text, email, or other methods

• See activity logs to track when information is added or changed

Whether you're coordinating cross-country with siblings or looping in a new home health aide, shared Vaults keep everyone in sync.

Why Collaboration Matters in Family Support

Supporting loved ones truly does take a village. Research consistently shows that having a strong support network leads to better outcomes for both care recipients and those tending to them. Shared Vaults make it simple to build and maintain that village.

As caregiving expert Rosalynn Carter once said, "There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers." With the new tendercare collaboration tools, we're making it easier for all of us to support each other.

Getting Started with Shared Vaults

Ready to transform how you coordinate support for your loved ones? Here's how:

1. Update your tendercare app to the latest version

2. Open an existing Vault or create a new one

3. Tap "Share Vault" and choose who to invite and what level of access to grant them

4. Send invites via text or email.

Pro tip: Start by sharing with one close family member to get comfortable with the feature.

The Power of Digital Organization in Supporting Loved Ones

In today's connected world, having a robust system for organizing and sharing health-related information is crucial. A study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that digital health information management tools can significantly reduce stress and improve care coordination for those supporting loved ones.

By using the new tendercare collaboration features, you're not just organizing information – you're creating a comprehensive system that can enhance the support you provide while reducing your stress levels.

At tendercare, we believe that being organized frees your mind and your life to focus on what truly matters – being there for the people you love. With Shared Vaults and our other recent updates, we're taking another big step towards making family support more manageable and less stressful.

We invite you to explore these new features and experience how they can transform your journey of supporting loved ones. Remember, you're not in this alone – and now tendercare makes it easier than ever to work as a team.
