Your Care Circle

Connect your entire support network

Up to 8 people who care about you, all connected and informed about your daily well-being

What is a Care Circle?

Your Care Circle is your personal support network - the people who care about your well-being and want to know you're safe. When you set up Iamfine, you designate up to 8 family members, friends, neighbors, or other trusted individuals who will be notified if you don't respond to your daily check-in call.

Think of it as your safety net. These are the people who would want to check on you if something seemed wrong, and now they can be alerted immediately rather than worrying in silence or calling you repeatedly.

Your Care Circle gives you independence while giving your loved ones peace of mind.

Important: How Iamfine Works

We are not an emergency response service. Iamfine does not contact emergency services (such as 911 or paramedics). Instead, we send alerts to your Care Circle of pre-designated contacts - usually friends, neighbors, and family members - who can then check on you and coordinate the appropriate response if needed.

How Your Care Circle Works

You Receive Your Daily Call

At your chosen time, you get an automated call asking you to confirm you're okay by pressing "1".

Normal Response - Circle Stays Quiet

When you respond normally, your Care Circle doesn't receive any messages. No news is good news!

Missed Call - Circle Gets Alerted

If you don't respond after several attempts, your entire Care Circle is notified via SMS, email, or phone call.

Circle Members Coordinate Response

Your Care Circle members can coordinate among themselves to check on you and ensure you get the help you need.

Who Should Be in Your Care Circle?

Family Members

  • Adult children - Often the primary contact
  • Spouse or partner - If living separately or traveling
  • Siblings - Especially those who live nearby
  • Other relatives - Nieces, nephews, cousins you're close to

Close Friends & Neighbors

  • Best friends - People who know you well
  • Neighbors - Especially helpful for immediate response
  • Church/community members - Your local support network
  • Long-time friends - People who truly care about you

  • Caregivers - Home health aides or companions
  • Care managers - Professional case workers
  • Trusted professionals - Lawyer, financial advisor, etc.

Benefits of a Care Circle

Shared Responsibility

No single person has to worry alone - the responsibility is shared among people who care about you.

Faster Response

Multiple people are alerted simultaneously, increasing the chances someone can respond quickly.

Geographic Coverage

Include people in different locations so someone is always available to help or coordinate local response.

Coordinated Care

Circle members can communicate with each other to coordinate the best response for your situation.

Peace of Mind

You know that if something happens, the right people will be notified immediately.

Reduced Family Anxiety

Family members worry less because they know they'll be alerted if there's ever a concern.

Managing Your Care Circle

Easy to Update

  • Add or remove members anytime by calling customer service
  • Update contact information when people move or change numbers
  • Change notification preferences for each member
  • Temporarily disable alerts for specific members (like during vacations)
  • Add emergency contact information

Best Practices

  • Keep it current: Review your Care Circle every 6 months
  • Mix local and distant: Include both nearby and far-away contacts
  • Communication is key: Make sure everyone knows they're in your Circle
  • Test the system: Consider having a planned "test" to ensure everyone knows their role
  • Include backups: Have multiple local contacts in case someone is unavailable

Real Care Circle Stories

The Family Coordination

"Dad didn't answer his morning call, and all four of us kids got the alert immediately. My brother who lives closest went to check on him, while my sister called his doctor. He had fallen and couldn't reach the phone, but because we all knew right away, he got help within an hour instead of lying there all day."
- Jennifer M., daughter

The Neighbor Network

"I included my two adult children and three close neighbors in my Care Circle. When I had a minor stroke and couldn't respond to the call, my neighbor was at my door in 10 minutes while my kids were coordinating from out of state. Having local and distant contacts made all the difference."
- Robert K., Iamfine user

The Extended Support

"Mom's Care Circle includes family, her best friend, a neighbor, and her case worker. When she missed her call due to a medication mix-up, everyone was notified but they coordinated among themselves so she wasn't overwhelmed with visitors. The case worker took the lead since it was health-related."
- Lisa T., daughter

Privacy and Control

You Control Your Circle

Your Care Circle is entirely under your control. You decide who to include in your Circle. Each Care Circle member then controls their own notification preferences — everyone always receives email alerts, and each member can choose whether they also want SMS text messages and/or phone calls.

Members of your Care Circle only hear from us when there's a genuine concern about your well-being. On normal days when you respond to your check-in call, your Care Circle members don't receive any communication from us at all. This respects everyone's privacy while ensuring the safety net is there when needed.

Privacy Protections

  • Care Circle members only contacted during genuine concerns
  • You can add or remove members at any time
  • Each member's contact preferences are respected
  • No sharing of personal information beyond safety alerts
  • Members can opt out of the Care Circle if needed
  • All communications are professional and brief
