When to Add the Loved One

Normally, you would add the Loved One right after creating your own login and password (or signing up with Google or Facebook). If you didn't complete adding your Loved One at that time, you can still add them.

What You’ll Need

  • Your login and password.

  • Care receiver’s first and last name

  • Phone number (mobile or landline)

  • Zip code or city and state (for timezone accuracy)

Steps

  1. Log in to your Joy Calls dashboard.

  2. You should be redirected to Step 1 of adding a Loved One.

  3. Complete Steps 1 through 3 and you will have added your Loved One.


Steps To Add a Loved One

👤 Step 1: Tell Us About Your Loved One

You’ll be asked to enter:

  • First Name & Last Name

  • Phone Number (mobile or landline)

  • Zip Code or City, State

  • (Optional) Birthday

The zip code or City, State information helps Joy know the local time for scheduled calls, and adds a personal touch to the experience.


💬 Step 2: Personalize the Conversation (Optional)

To make Joy’s calls more meaningful, you can optionally share:

  • Favorite interests (e.g., flower gardening, golden retrievers)

  • Family members to mention

  • Topics to avoid (e.g., politics, stressful news)

These preferences shape Joy’s tone, content, and conversation topics.

Choose the type of call and when you'd like it to occur:

Call Type Options:

  • General Friendly Visit

  • General Wellness Check

  • Medication Check

  • Pain and Happiness Check

  • Meal Check

  • Memory Lane

Recurrence Type: Daily (every day of the week) or Weekly (pick the days of the week)
Time: Choose any time that works best for your loved one. (it will be their local time)
Your Phone Number (optional): So we can text you a summary of calls or just when there is something urgent.

  • To receive texts, you must check the box acknowledging acceptance.

Finally, click Schedule to complete setup!
