KINOVA / CARE AT HOME
Care that fits
life at home.
Plan everyday support for children, seniors, people with special needs and people recovering at home.
Choose the care you need. Agree the routine together. Keep each visit connected.
Four care categories. One shared plan.
CHOOSE THE CARE YOU NEED
Four categories.
The same clear steps.
Start with the person’s needs. Filter caregivers by category and language, then compare availability and the routine you want help with.
01
Child care
Infants, toddlers and school-age children. Feeding and naps, play, homework and family visit notes.
↗ 02Senior care
Companionship, meals and everyday help. Build the plan around the person’s preferences and independence.
↗ 03Special needs
Nonmedical support for children and adults. Keep communication preferences and familiar routines in the care plan.
↗ 04Recovery support
Meals, household tasks and companionship after discharge. Keep practical help distinct from clinical care.
↗A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CARE
The small details
make the plan yours.
Feeding and naps. A favourite meal. A familiar way to communicate. Keep the practical details with the people who need them.

Child care and home support
The directory includes local babysitting, nanny-placement and home-care businesses. It is separate from the example caregivers used in the product walkthrough.
Providers manage their own enquiries, service assessments and hiring. Confirm availability, qualifications, fees and terms directly; directory inclusion is not a Kinova partnership or screening endorsement.

PREPARE FOR THE CONVERSATION
Ask about the details
that matter at home.
Use these prompts when speaking to a care provider. The provider should explain the exact service and responsibilities before you agree.
What should I prepare before asking for care?
Care category, approximate area, requested days and hours, practical tasks, language preferences and who can arrange the care. Discuss sensitive care information privately with the appropriate provider.
How do I compare providers beyond the hourly price?
Ask about relevant experience, checks and references, minimum visit length, travel charges, cancellation terms, replacement cover, insurance and the contact responsible for concerns. Request the total cost and terms in writing.
How do changes and repeat visits work in Kinova?
A proposed change stays pending until the other participant accepts it. A repeat request copies the original routine into the next week and retains open follow-up for review. The earlier arrangement remains in Saved plans.
Can I book through this beta?
The product walkthrough uses example profiles and saves on your device. To enquire about actual care, use the separate provider directory and contact the business directly. Kinova’s proposed payment and service model is still being developed.

Clear responsibilities
belong in the plan.
Who can arrange care?
The person receiving care, a parent or guardian, or someone with the appropriate consent or authority. Each category asks for the relevant confirmation.
What about screening and safety?
Live service will require caregiver eligibility and screening, insurance and an operating support process. The beta uses fictional profiles to demonstrate the workflow.
Does recovery support include medical care?
The current scope is nonmedical help. Clinical decisions, nursing procedures and medication administration are outside this beta’s care plans.
Where are my beta examples saved?
