A Knowledgeable Companion for Your Caregiving Journey

Caregiving does not follow a schedule. Questions arise at 2am when your loved one is restless. Challenges appear on a Sunday afternoon when no helpline is open. You need support in the moment, not during office hours.

OurTurn's AI Care Coach is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can ask it anything related to daily care — how to handle sundowning, what activities work well in the afternoon, how to respond when your loved one is confused or agitated, or simply how to make mealtimes easier. The coach responds with practical, evidence-informed suggestions written in warm, supportive language.

The AI Care Coach is not a replacement for medical advice. It will never diagnose, prescribe, or make clinical recommendations. When you ask something that falls into medical territory, it will gently suggest that you discuss it with your loved one's healthcare provider. What it does brilliantly is help you navigate the everyday realities of caregiving — the practical, emotional, and organisational challenges that make up most of your day.

Unlike generic chatbots or search engines, OurTurn's AI Care Coach understands the context of your family's situation. It can reference your loved one's care plan, daily check-in patterns, and preferences to give you answers that are specific and actionable.

Ask "What activities should I add to Dad's afternoon plan?" and the coach can suggest brain wellness games that match his interests and the difficulty level he is comfortable with. Ask "Mum has been sleeping badly this week — any ideas?" and it can share evidence-informed approaches to improving sleep hygiene that are specifically relevant for people living with dementia.

The coach also offers proactive insights. Based on patterns in daily check-ins and care plan activity, it might notice that your loved one tends to have better days when morning walks are part of the routine, or that mood dips tend to coincide with changes in schedule. These observations are always presented as gentle suggestions, never as diagnoses or clinical findings.

Responses stream in real time, so you see the answer appearing word by word rather than waiting for a wall of text. This makes the conversation feel natural and responsive.

We take the responsibility of providing AI-powered guidance seriously. OurTurn's Care Coach includes a comprehensive safety pipeline that classifies every message before it is processed. This system ensures that crisis situations receive immediate, appropriate resources — not AI-generated text.

If the system detects signs of severe distress or crisis, it immediately provides relevant emergency resources and helpline numbers rather than attempting an AI response. For medical questions, it redirects to healthcare professionals with a clear disclaimer. For emotional support needs, it responds with empathy while connecting you to caregiver support resources.

Every interaction is subject to regulatory language safeguards. The AI never uses clinical or diagnostic language. It never claims to be a medical professional or to replace medical care. Every response about health-related topics includes a gentle reminder to consult with healthcare providers for medical concerns.

This safety-first approach means you can use the Care Coach with confidence, knowing that it will always stay within appropriate boundaries while still being genuinely helpful for everyday care questions.

One of the most powerful features of the Care Coach is its ability to turn suggestions into action. When the coach recommends an activity, a schedule change, or a new care plan task, you can add it directly to your loved one's care plan with a single tap. No need to switch screens, remember the suggestion, and manually create a task later.

This seamless connection between advice and action means the Care Coach is not just a source of information — it is an active participant in your caregiving workflow. Ask for meal ideas and add them to the plan. Get suggestions for afternoon activities and schedule them immediately. Discuss bedtime routines and update the evening plan on the spot.

The Care Coach is available on both the web dashboard and the caregiver mobile app with identical functionality. Whether you are at your computer planning the week ahead or on your phone during a quick break at work, the same knowledgeable, supportive companion is there for you.

Free plan users receive a limited number of AI messages per month, with unlimited access available on the Plus plan. Even on the free plan, the coach prioritises giving you the most helpful response possible with each interaction.
