How to Add a Loved One

Learn how to add a Loved one to your JoyCalls account with just their name, phone number, and location for accurate call scheduling.

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 JoyCalls dashboard.

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

  3. Complete Steps 1 through 5 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)

  • City

  • State

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

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