Hospital stays, without the chaos.

When a loved one is admitted, Hospital Stay Mode gives the whole family one shared view of visiting hours, who’s visiting when, and what the doctor said — from admission to the day they come home.

Everything a hospital stay needs, in one shared place.

Hospital Stay Mode

A hospital admission pulls a family in a dozen directions at once. Hospital Stay Mode keeps it all in one place — so coordinating a visit doesn't mean another round of phone calls.

01

Log a hospital stay in seconds

Hospital, ward and room, reason for admission, admission date and an expected discharge date if you have one. It becomes the whole circle's shared source of truth the moment it's saved — no more repeating the same details on the phone to everyone.

Visiting hours the whole circle can see

Set per-day time windows (or one 'every day' slot), with an optional label and notes — so nobody turns up to a locked ward, and nobody has to ask the same question in the family group chat twice.

03

Plan a visit, without the clash

Pick a date and time to visit, and see who else is already down to visit that day so the ward isn't empty on Tuesday and crowded on Saturday. It quietly adds a matching event to the shared calendar too.

Doctor updates, in one thread

Whoever's at the hospital posts what the doctor said — a diagnosis update, a medication change, a discharge estimate — and it goes straight to the whole circle as a pinned update, not buried thirty messages deep in the family chat.

Every visitor, at a glance

Today's visitors on the dashboard card, the full planned-visits list sorted by date, and a complete visitor history grouped by day — so it's always obvious who's been in and who's coming.

From admission to discharge

Mark the stay as discharged when your loved one comes home, and it moves into Hospital Stay History — a record of every past stay, with the date range and reason, one tap away if you ever need to look back.

On the web too

Everything above is mirrored on the web dashboard — Active and Past tabs, with a detail drawer covering Info, Visiting Hours and Visitors, for whenever it's easier to coordinate from a laptop than a phone.

Nobody should have to guess what the doctor said.

Hospital Stay Mode is shared by the whole circle — Angels and the Loved One alike. Any member can plan a visit, manage visiting hours or post a doctor update; there’s no admin-only lock. On iOS, the Loved One’s own view uses larger touch targets and simpler cards, built for using it from a hospital bed.
