Day by Day
A care log for one person, kept by the people who love them.
Caring for someone with dementia means a hundred small observations a day: meals, medications, mood, sleep, bathroom, the walk you took this afternoon. None of them feel important on their own. Together, over weeks, they tell the doctor a story that memory alone cannot.
Day by Day is a quiet place to write those things down. The team caring for one person, family, paid caregivers, anyone trusted, can sign in and add what they noticed. Each visit, the family lead downloads a clear report for the doctor.
A gentle note on logging
The more often we log, and the closer to the moment, the more useful the picture. Even short entries help. There is no perfect log, only a record that builds, day by day. Better data tends to mean better conversations with the doctor, and better conversations tend to mean better care.

Five ways to track, no free text
Owner of the site picks which trackers the team should use, and can add custom ones built from any of these five shapes. Structured entries mean the doctor sees patterns, not paragraphs.
Scale
Pain 0 to 10, sleep hours, anxiety. A bounded number.

Choice
Mood states, meal portion, bathroom type. Pick from a list.
Counter
Glasses of water, snacks, accidents. A simple count.
Duration

A monthly report for the doctor
