General FAQ

To access the User Guides for the Responder App and dashboard, go to our Troubleshooting (FAQ) page.

How do I get started using the Responder App? How do I get a username and password?

Contact our customer service team, in order to sign up for the monthly Check-in Service. After you receive your username, password, and beacons from SimplyHome, you will download the app on the Google Play or iTunes store, and enter the username and password you received.

Is the Responder App EVV-compliant?

The Check-in Service and Responder App do meet the basic requirements of EVV, documenting the date of service, the location of service (if beacons are utilized), individual providing service, type of service, individual receiving service, and time stamps (via check-in and check-out, if used). The Check-in Service and Responder App is a solution that is focused on supporting the individual, rather than a staff time and attendance or payroll solution.

What type of device do I need to access the SimplyHome Responder App?

The app is compatible with Android and Apple smartphones and tablets. The Android operating system must be 4.1 or later, and the Apple device must be iOS 10 or later (iPhone 5 or later). Additionally, the device must have either a cellular or Wi-Fi connection at all times while using the app. The device must support Bluetooth 4.0 in order to validate location using beacons.

Who is the Responder App intended for?

The app is intended to connect providers and caregiving teams with the individuals they support, empowering highly customized care for each individual.

Whether your goal is to document staff presence at specific times or specific locations, or simply to prioritize check-ins with multiple clients, the Responder App gives you the flexibility to do that from anywhere, in the midst of a busy workday or a high-paced environment.

Do I need to use the SimplyHome System or other SimplyHome technology to use the Responder App?

No, the Responder App can be used as a stand-alone system to document check-ins, check-outs, and tasks completed by staff.

Is it possible to manage multiple people on one dashboard?

Yes, if you are a caregiver or staff member supporting multiple clients or multiple locations, you should be able to see all your clients in the Responder App. These clients must be set up by the administrator using our secure web portal.

How do I create a new check-in or edit an existing check-in?

Authorized users can easily update the responders and the check-in days/times on our secure web portal. Our Customer Service team is available to assist authorized users with these changes; email us at help@simply-home.com.

Who receives notifications about check-ins, and how do they get these alerts?

During the setup process on the web portal, you will customize your list of responders, and select whether each person is alerted when a check-in is due or late. Both email and text alerts are available. You may list as many people as you would like on your contact list.

What about privacy with the app?

Client data is stored securely in the cloud and is accessible through the secure web portal. The Responder App and web portal do not store client data per se, but request data from our servers on demand.
