Yes — one family group can have unlimited profiles. A parent might set up profiles for themselves, their children, and their elderly parent, each with the right role and access level.

Question 8

What is the Senior View?

Accepted Answer

Senior View is a simplified interface with large text, high contrast, and reduced complexity — showing only what matters most: today's medications and family posts. It's set up once by an Admin; the senior family member just uses it naturally.

Question 9

Can profiles be protected with a PIN?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard limit on family members. KinBond is designed for real families of every shape — small, large, multi-generational, and blended.

Question 11

How does medication tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Add a medication for any family member with its name, type (pill, liquid, injection, etc.), frequency, and reminder times. KinBond automatically schedules push notifications: 30 minutes before, at dose time, and a missed-dose alert if not logged.

Question 12

Who gets notified when a medication is missed?

Accepted Answer

If a dose is not logged within a set window, KinBond sends an escalation alert to family members with the Caregiver or Admin role — so the right person always knows to follow up, without the senior or child having to do anything.

Question 13

Can I track medications for someone who isn't technically savvy?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A caregiver or admin can set up all medications for a senior family member. The senior only needs to tap a single 'Taken' button when prompted — the app does the rest.

Question 14

Is there a medication history log?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every logged dose is recorded with a timestamp. You can review the full history for any family member at any time, which is useful for GP appointments or caregiver handovers.

KinBond supports pills, liquids, injections, patches, drops, inhalers, and a custom type for anything else. You can add notes about dosage instructions too.

Question 16

Who can create and assign chores?

Accepted Answer

Admins and Parents can create and assign chores to any family profile. Caregivers can view chores. Children and Seniors see only their own assigned chores.

Yes — chores can be set to repeat daily, weekly, or on custom days of the week. Once a recurring chore is completed and approved, the next occurrence is created automatically.

Question 20

What happens if a chore is overdue?

Accepted Answer

KinBond sends a reminder notification when a chore is approaching its due date and again when it becomes overdue. Admins can see all overdue chores at a glance in the chore management view.

Question 24

Can I react and comment on posts?

Yes — push notifications are delivered to all devices where KinBond is installed and signed in to your profile.

Question 28
