Help a parent find their headphone charger, leave useful details for the next support worker, or keep shared activity supplies easy to find. Save familiar places with the person’s agreement and share them with the people involved.
Save where useful things belong together. Use the names the person already uses, like the side table or the tray beside the armchair.
2
Ask when you need it.
The person, a family member or a support worker can ask about the belongings shared with them. Include what something is for when its name is hard to remember.
3
Keep it up to date.
When something moves to a new agreed place, update the saved location. The next person helping can find the same details.
Different kinds of support.
The same everyday details.
For families helping at home, support workers, and teams in supported living or care homes. Start with what someone wants help finding and the places they already use.
Help an older relative at home.
Dad’s TV headphones have their own charging cable. His son saves which cable it is and where Dad wants it kept, so his grandson can help find it on the next visit too.
“Dad’s headphones need charging. Where’s the cable?”
Give the next support worker a useful answer.
Jason keeps his headphones in the desk’s top drawer and his library bag on the hall hook. Save those details with Jason so another support worker can look them up when he asks.
“Where does Jason keep his library bag?”
Keep shared supplies easy to find.
In a shared home, the cards, large-print puzzles and craft supplies go in different cupboards. Record their storage places so residents and the people helping can find what they need for an afternoon activity.
“Where are the cards and craft supplies?”
Agree what to record.
Choose who can find it.
Decide together which belongings to save and which family members, friends or support workers should have access.
Only me
Keep your own belongings set to Only me when their details do not need to be shared. Other workspace members cannot see those records.
Share with your people.
Share selected belongings with a group for the people involved. Give helpers read-only access to look things up, or permission to update locations. They can also see records shared with Everyone in the workspace. Named groups come with Premium, its trial, and Team.

Your records, coming and going.
Already have a list of belongings or shared supplies? Import it and review the records before adding them. Export what you can see when you want a copy of the saved details.
Import & export
Start with the person.
Then the useful details.
Does the person receiving support need to use the app?
No. You can keep the agreed records in your own account and look things up when they ask. If they want to use Wheredai themselves, they can have their own account and join the workspace.
Do we need to reorganize their space?
Start with the places the person already uses and wants to save. A few useful details can be enough for a first try; let them choose what to add next.
Can family members and support workers use the same records?
Yes. With the person’s agreement, invite the people involved to the workspace and share the relevant records. Each helper needs their own account and counts toward the plan’s people limit. Read-only access lets them browse, search and ask without making changes.
Who can see what we save?
Workspace members can find records shared with Everyone or a group they belong to. Things a person adds as Only me stay private to that person, even from the workspace owner. Only me is on every plan; named groups come with Premium, its trial, and Team.
How does a location stay up to date?
Someone with permission to edit must save the new place after an item moves. Agree who will make those updates and keep the recorded locations in step with the person’s choices.
Can we look things up between visits?
Yes. Anyone with a signed-in account and access to the records can search them wherever they have an internet connection. The answer is the location someone saved, so update it when things move.
Start with one thing
someone wants help finding.
Save its familiar place together. Share the answer with the people helping.
