Geriatric Care Management and Coordination Guides
Caring for an elderly parent or loved one in your own home is more than just “keeping an eye” on them. In addition to keeping them comfortable, there are medications to manage, doctor appointments to keep, exercise routines to maintain, etc. If your loved one has mobility issues, memory impairment or other problems, that list grows to include feeding, bathing and toileting assistance, and a whole host of other medical and personal needs. It quickly becomes clear to anyone who has tried it alone: geriatric care management is a team effort, requiring coordination between other family members and friends, as well as communication with professional health care providers. Proper care can quickly become so complicated that when others volunteer to help, it’s almost more trouble than it’s worth to sit down with the new helper and explain what your loved one needs. As caregivers come and go, you may find yourself spending more time training than you do providing the loving care only you can give.
Efficient elder care requires a communication tool that will help you and your care team keep track of daily care needs, note and record specific care instructions and train new members. CareGiver360® turns your Internet-connected PC into such a tool, enabling you to create a customized Care Guide that is both easy to use and share with your care team. With both general care instructions developed by the latest research and specific instructions you add, CareGiver360® can quickly orient new caregivers to your loved one. CareGiver360® organizes care instructions into easy-to-navigate categories, providing the most important information up front. This minimizes time spent looking for information and provides a quick introduction for caregivers who may only help out for a short time. In addition to creating an online record of care, CareGiver360® will soon add daily communication functions, enabling your care team to track medications, appointments and other daily needs.
