Guide for CareApp Champions
Learn how to become a successful CareApp Champion and effectively support your community members with this comprehensive guide.
What is a CareApp Champion?
CareApp Champions are the leaders of CareApp at each site or service. CareApp Champions spread the word about CareApp. They make sure resident and client profiles are updated, and that new staff and families are invited to join their community. Plus, they're often the key staff members who approve and share posts with families.
It's a good idea to have at least two CareApp Champions for each site.
CareApp Champions get a badge on their profile picture
CareApp Champions are designated by a special badge on their profile so that everyone in the site can see who they are. This helps others know who to talk to if they have questions, and recognises them as leaders in their site.
How do I get started as a CareApp Champion?
CareApp Champions should have a Site Coordinator or Provider Administrator CareApp account on CareApp.
We recommend CareApp Champions attend a training session or watch our online training here.

Step 1 - CareApp Accounts
Care team accounts
Each member of your care team should have an account on CareApp.
You can easily monitor your members and invite new members to CareApp on the "Members" tab. Click here to see how to invite new members to join your community.
You will need to ensure there are enough team members to create lots of posts on CareApp and also have multiple Site Coordinator accounts in your community to help moderate and share posts with family.

Care participant's customer profiles
Each of your care participants will need a Customer Profile on CareApp.
You can easily see your customer list and add new customer profiles on the "Customer" tab on CareApp. Please click here to see how to add a new customer profile.
If you wish to deactivate or memorialise a customer profile please click here to see a guide.
Family connected to your customer profiles
An easy way to check that your customer profiles have family attached is by checking the "Statistics" tab on the "Customer Activity" page. Here you can see a list of all of your customer profiles with the number of how many family members they have connected.
We recommend having a minimum of two family members connected to each customer profile. The more family members connected the better the CareApp experience!
