HOW NUFFCARE WORKS

One circle.
Many ways to care.

A shared approach to everyday support, with family at the centre and community help when it is needed.

Start with the person.
Build the support
around them.

Agree on what matters

Talk with your loved one about the help they want, the activities they enjoy and the information they are comfortable sharing. A Care Circle should support their choices.

Bring the circle together

Invite trusted relatives and agree on responsibilities. Someone nearby may handle groceries; someone overseas may contribute toward agreed expenses or organise the week.

Make everyday care visible

Create tasks and recurring responsibilities. Share relevant updates, completion names, times and notes so the family spends less time chasing information.

Add community support thoughtfully

Where services are available, request help from an approved participant. Confirm the task, price, timing and boundaries before work begins.

Keep learning together

Review what is working. Adjust the schedule, share the load and make room for outings and companionship—not just chores.

ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT THE CHASING

A completion should
tell the family something.

Our approach is to connect a completed task to the person who did it, the time and a useful note. For a paid errand, receipts help explain the expense.

A recorded completion is an update from a participant. It is not a clinical assessment, proof of a person’s wellbeing or a substitute for speaking with them.

SHARED EXPENSES / PLANNED MODEL

Family contributions.
Clear purpose.

The aim is to let relatives coordinate support for approved needs without handing grocery money to a driver.

01

Agree on the task

Decide together what is needed, who approves it and what each relative is willing to contribute.

02

Pay the appropriate provider

We aim to arrange direct supermarket payment for groceries. Store relationships and payment integrations are still to be established.

03

Share the outcome

Keep receipts and completion updates together. The planned system would distinguish grocery spending, helper charges and any sponsor contribution.

NuffCare is not currently accepting pooled funds, holding family balances or processing service payments through this website.
QUESTIONS FAMILIES ASK

A little more clarity.

Is NuffCare available to everyone now?

The app is being tested privately. You can express interest in the pilot; participation and service availability will be confirmed separately.

Will recurring tasks stay free?

Yes. Our commitment is to keep essential family coordination, including recurring responsibilities, free. You should not need a membership to maintain a dependable routine.

Do all relatives need a Supporter membership?

No. Supporter is optional. The proposed membership applies to one loved one’s circle, and relatives may agree to share its cost between themselves.

Can I gift benefits without sharing private care information?

The planned model lets a recipient accept a specific service benefit for their own circle. Giving a gift would not give the sender access to that circle’s private care information.

Will NuffCare hold our grocery money?

No pooled balances or grocery payment services are offered here. We aim to establish direct payment arrangements with participating stores before launching that service.

Are the events and partner benefits confirmed?

Independent events should be checked with their organisers. NuffCare outings and membership benefits are in planning; dates, partners, access and prices will be published when agreed.

Can a delivery helper provide professional care?

A delivery role does not imply professional care qualifications. Tasks must match the participant’s reviewed role and skills; specialist work needs appropriately qualified providers.
