Common questions
Using Hubbi alongside CaringBridge, answered
- Is Hubbi the same as CaringBridge?
- No. CaringBridge is wonderful at what it does — broadcasting updates to a wider circle during a medical journey. Hubbi is for the day-to-day operational work between the people actually providing care: medications, appointments, doctors, and document storage.
- Can I use both?
- Many families do. Use CaringBridge to update a broader circle of friends, and use Hubbi for the family that’s coordinating the actual care.
- Does Hubbi let me post a journal of my parent’s care journey?
- Hubbi is focused on coordination, not public updates. If a journal is what you need, CaringBridge or a similar service is a better fit. If you need shared medication and appointment tracking, that’s Hubbi.
- Is Hubbi free like CaringBridge?
- Yes. Hubbi Health is free for families. CaringBridge is also free, supported by donations. The two serve different needs.
- Who can see what I put in Hubbi?
- Only the family members you invite, with the role you choose. Doctors can be granted scoped access. Unlike CaringBridge updates, Hubbi data is private to your family by default.
