Work through this list with your Kinto contact before your first shift with Kinto. Print it from the printable version of this guide.

Paperwork

  • ☐ Contract and data processing agreement signed.
  • ☐ DPIA completed or updated; privacy notice updated.
  • ☐ Staff told about Kinto, including that Sarah is an AI and what she can’t do.

Accounts

  • ☐ Owner signed in, two-factor authentication on, recovery codes stored safely.
  • ☐ A second owner (or at least one admin) set up.
  • ☐ All staff invited with the right role.
  • ☐ Team page checked: everyone shows 2FA on (or 2FA not required for viewers).
  • ☐ A plan for staff who lose their phone: who can reset two-factor out of hours.

Residents

  • ☐ Resident list sent to Kinto securely and checked on the Residents page.
  • ☐ Severe allergies showing correctly on each profile.
  • ☐ Residents who’d like to use the app have agreed, and their app is set up.

Ways of working

  • ☐ Agreed what staff record in Kinto (observations) and what stays in your existing systems (medicines administration, incidents, vitals, care plans).
  • ☐ Agreed who checks Alerts each shift and what “acknowledge” means in your home.
  • ☐ Agreed how handovers use Kinto’s summary alongside your usual handover.
  • ☐ Everyone knows Kinto doesn’t monitor residents or call for help, and that emergencies follow your usual procedures and 999.
  • ☐ Staff know where the Care team manual is, and printed copies are in the office.
  • ☐ Everyone knows how to contact Kinto support: support@kinto.you.

Still stuck, or spotted something that doesn’t match what you see? Email support@kinto.you and tell us which page you were on. Please don’t include residents’ personal or medical details.
