CareMinds.com, an online resource for senior care, announces CareSite, a new free feature that aids families and friends in managing the care and support of an elder loved one. A CareSite is a private and easy-to-use website that assists in organizing your care team, coordinating activities through a shared calendar and group message board, and celebrating life through stories and pictures.
“Having a CareSite allows my family to view my Mom’s kitchen calendar, with all the appointments, without having to travel 2,000 miles. I now can better plan my travel to coincide with her needs and it’s a huge advantage to families separated by many miles,†said Kris Besley, caregiver.
According to Kevin Adams, grandson, “CareSite provides the tools to help my family stay up to date on my grandfather’s condition, and is also a great source of information to help us make the right choices about his care.â€
With a CareSite, you can:
* Create a private online space, accessible only by your invitation
* Form your care team, assigning specific roles to each member
* Maintain a shared care calendar
* Exchange timely care information amongst caregivers
* Collaboratively tell stories of your elder loved one
* Share and discover their interests and goals
* Create a wish list for your loved one and post supportive messages
* Upload photos
* Report on scheduled events and chart recurring health readings, such as blood pressure and glucose levels
