15 dimensions. One number. A shared language.
The InPlace Score™ is how Kintently turns the observations of a family into a measurement. It runs from 0 to 1000, falls into one of five bands, and adjusts for the capacity of the person doing the caring.

Five bands. Each one a different conversation.
Each dimension is assessed on a 1–5 scale. The score is weighted and produces a number from 0 to 1000.
The score watches you too.
Six self-check questions about your own capacity: sleep, stress, time, support, energy, emotional state. Your answers adjust the InPlace Score™. If the person doing the caring is running on empty, the overall picture reflects that. Because the person doing the caring is also the person most likely to need help.

One check-in is a snapshot. Monthly check-ins are a story.
Score-over-time, with trend arrows and month-over-month comparison. This is the picture you need when you talk to the doctor.
When more than one of you contributes, the score reflects all of your perspectives.
The family sees where they agree and where they diverge. That's the conversation starter, not the argument.
Built on frameworks geriatric clinicians have used for decades.
We applied proven ADL and IADL measurement approaches to a new context: the family, not the clinic. The InPlace Score™ gives families a shared, structured way to talk about what they're observing.
The InPlace Score™ is not a medical assessment. It's an observational framework for families. If you have concerns about your parent's health, consult their healthcare provider.
