Learn how to create a new support recipient profile, access their information, and update details like allergies, risk levels, and carer preferences in Elate.

Adding a New Support Recipient (Managers)

  1. Select the Add Support Recipient button located at the top right of the Support Recipient Dashboard.
  2. Fill in the following details:
    • First and last name of the care recipient.
    • Email address.
    • Date of birth.
    • Home address.
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page to upload the new recipient into the system.

✅ Tip: Use the + button to add multiple team members or support recipients before saving. This allows several records to be created in a single session, making bulk onboarding quicker and more efficient.

  1. Complete the details for the first record.
  2. Click the + button to add another blank form.
  3. Repeat the process for as many records as required.
  4. Click Save once all records have been entered.

This feature is particularly useful when onboarding multiple team members or adding several support recipients at the same time, reducing the need to repeatedly open and close the creation form.
