Caregiver shifts with a response
A staffed care window is a shift, with an assigned caregiver and a response. A proposed arrangement is not the same as accepted coverage.
Repeating arrangements
Use repeating events for recurring commitments. Keep the details connected to the arrangement instead of copying them into a new conversation each week.

Family calendar questions
The details, answered.
Does the calendar have a weekly view?
Yes. Elly includes day, week and month views.
Does assigning a shift mean the caregiver accepted?
No. Shift assignments require the caregiver’s response. Review the status and discuss changes directly.
Are shared assignments included without a subscription?
Shared assignments and caregiver shifts are subject to Elly Plus access. Check the current plan details in the app before relying on a particular feature.
Can I add a place and child to an event?
Yes. An event can hold its time, location, participants and relevant children. Put outing details in the event so the adults involved can find them again.
Can recurring activities stay in the calendar?
The calendar supports repeating arrangements, including daily, weekly and monthly options. Review the recurrence when creating the plan so it matches the actual commitment.
How should we handle a pickup change?
Discuss the new arrangement with the adult taking responsibility, then update the calendar details. Check the relevant response rather than assuming that changing the event alone confirms coverage.
