Getting Started
What is ResourceCareConnect?
ResourceCareConnect is a secure documentation app built specifically for foster and kinship caregivers. It helps you log observations, track medications, manage your calendar, and generate professional reports for caseworkers — all in one place.
Who is ResourceCareConnect for?
It's built for Resource/Foster and kinship caregivers who need reliable, organized documentation without the complexity of agency-level software. If you care for children in foster or kinship placements, this app was made for you.
Do I need to download anything?
No download needed. ResourceCareConnect works directly in your browser on any device. You can install it to your home screen for a native app experience — see 'How do I install the app on my phone?' below.
How do I install the app on my phone?
On iPhone/iPad: Open resourcecareconnect.app in Safari, tap the Share button, then tap 'Add to Home Screen.' On Android: Open in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, then tap 'Install app.' On Desktop: Look for the install icon in your browser's address bar.
The app looks outdated on my phone after an update. What do I do?
This is a caching issue. On iPhone: delete the app icon from your home screen, open resourcecareconnect.app in Safari, and reinstall via 'Add to Home Screen.' On Android: uninstall the app, reopen the site in Chrome, and reinstall. This will load the latest version.
Account & Billing
How much does ResourceCareConnect cost?

Features
What types of observations can I log?
You can log General, Behavioral, Injury/Health, Medical, Dental, Therapy, School, Activity, and Positive Moment observations. Each entry is time-stamped and saved to the child's profile.
Can I attach photos to observations?
Yes. You can attach up to 5 photos per observation. On mobile you can take a photo directly with your camera or choose from your photo library. Photos appear in the child's timeline and are embedded in generated PDF reports.
What reports can I generate?
ResourceCareConnect generates 7 report types: Daily Log, Health Summary, Observation & Behavior, Activities & Therapy, Monthly Summary, Annual Guardianship, Incident Report, and Medication Log. Reports export as PDF or CSV.
What is AI Tone Coaching?
The AI tone check reviews your observation text and suggests more neutral, fact-based language — the kind caseworkers and courts prefer. It never changes your words without your approval. You can disable AI features entirely in Account settings.
Is my children's data sent to AI systems?
Registered child names are replaced with generic identifiers (such as 'Child A') before text is processed by AI. Other details in your text — such as dates, provider names, case numbers, or other free-text identifiers — are sent to the AI provider as written. For appointment card scans, the card image itself is transmitted. You can disable all AI features in Account settings.
Does the app work offline?
Basic note-taking works offline and syncs when you reconnect. Photo uploads, report generation, and AI features require an internet connection.
Privacy & Security
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Files and photos are stored in secure cloud storage. We use enterprise-grade security with full audit logging.
Do you sell my data?
Never. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
What third-party services do you use?
We use Stripe for payment processing, Cloudflare R2 for file storage, OpenAI for AI features (when enabled), and Microsoft 365 for email delivery. Each has their own privacy practices.
