Walkthrough: Generate a Care Report (PDF)
Sometimes you need to hand someone a clean, printed picture of how things have been going — an IEP team, a doctor, a court. The Care Report pulls your logged activity into one tidy PDF. You choose the date range and which sections to include, then share or print it. Available
The report builds only from what you have already logged. It does not invent anything, and it leaves your private writing out — your notes, diary entries, and photos never appear in it. More on that below.
Before you start
- Pick the person you are reporting on, using the person switcher.
- Make sure there is some logged activity in the stretch of time you want to cover. A report over a quiet week will simply show fewer entries.
Steps
-
Open the Main menu and go to the Caregiver hub.
-
Tap the Reflect row, then open the Weekly Recap tab.
-
In the top toolbar, tap the report icon (it looks like a document). The Care Report sheet opens.
-
Choose your date range. The report opens set to the last 30 days with every section turned on. Tap a preset — Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Last 90 days — or set the start and end dates yourself. The 7-day view is handy for a quick check-in; 90 days gives a fuller arc for an annual IEP review.
-
Pick your sections. Turn off anything you do not want to share. The report can include: - Activity summary — counts of feedings, sleep, behaviors, seizures, and notes - Behaviors — the entries with their descriptions and times - Seizures — full detail, including how long each lasted and any rescue medication given - Medications — current medication names and dosages - Goals — goal text and whether each was met - Milestones — the wins, with their dates - Doctor visits — provider and a short summary
Leave on only what fits the audience. For an IEP meeting you might keep Goals, Milestones, and Behaviors. For a doctor you might lean on Medications, Seizures, and Doctor visits.
-
Tap Generate PDF. It takes a moment, then you will feel a small confirmation.
-
Tap Share. The standard iOS share sheet opens. From here you can: - Email it or AirDrop it to your own Mac or to whoever needs it - Save it to Files - Tap Print to send it to a printer
That is the whole flow. You can come back and generate a fresh report any time things change — there is nothing to clean up afterward.
Good to know
- A section with nothing in it is skipped. If you turn Goals on but have not logged any goals for that person, the report simply leaves that section out — you will not get a blank header.
- Long reports break across pages cleanly. A busy month with many entries flows onto multiple pages without cutting a row in half.
- Every page carries a "Generated by CareHaven" footer, so it is clear where the document came from.
- The report is built right then on your device. Generating it does not send your data anywhere.
What is left out, on purpose
Your private writing stays private. The Care Report never includes your notes, your diary text, or any photos — those are for you, not for a meeting. The footer says so plainly. If you want to share a specific observation from your diary, copy the part you choose into the report's audience another way; the report itself will not carry it for you.
This is the same privacy stance as the rest of the app — see Privacy & security for the full picture.
