Technology has it’s uses and despite it’s destructive tendencies, there is some good that it can do.
There are many times when a caregiver needs to be able to do their work and still check in on the
health of their loved ones.
Nowadays, you can have neat little applications in your pockets to help
you on the go.
These Apps can help you stay organized, find information and connect with other
caregivers. Here are some of our favorites:
Caring Village
Caring Village is an app that provides support for caregivers, who often have a difficult time with
their role.
The app helps caregivers connect with other caregivers, find resources in their area and
find local events and activities to participate in.
It also provides information about local support
groups that can help you through your journey as a caregiver.
CareZone
CareZone is a platform that helps you keep track of your loved ones. You can use it to monitor their
health and wellbeing, create a care plan, communicate with family and friends, or even communicate
with medical professionals.
The app is designed around the idea that caregivers don’t have time to constantly check up on their
loved ones. They need something that will help them manage everything from feeding schedules to
medication reminders—and the CareZone app offers all those things in one place.
Dementia Talk
This App is majorly concerned with helping caregivers dealing with dementia patients. You can get
useful information and insight on how best to deal unique situations that you may face on a daily
basis.
Lotsa Helping Hands
Lotsa Helping hands is another interesting application. The worst part of Memory loss is the
loneliness that follows.
Lotsa helps you create a community around a loved one so that you can
easily share information, communicate appointments, prescriptions and medications. You can invite
whoever you want and make as interactive as you deem fit.
PocketPharmacist
The app can help you manage your loved one’s medications, track their activities, monitor timelines,
organize prescriptions, set reminders and find other relevant information about medication.
Assisted Living Locators App
The Assisted Living Locators app is a resource for people who are looking for an assisted living facility.
The app provides detailed information about the facilities, including their size and amenities, staff
members, activities and amenities available at each location, as well as its location.
The Assisted Living Locators app also provides users with access to a directory of all currently
operating assisted living homes in the United States.
This directory includes a listing of each facility’s
address along with contact information for its administrators or managers so that you can get more
details about what kind of care your loved one needs (or wants) during their stay there.
It’s easy to get burnt out as a caregiver (link to caregiver burnout article). So you want to take
advantage of any useful resource that you can find and luckily applications are always there to save
the day.
Be sure to try one of them out and if you’re not still not sure of which option to go for, you
schedule a meeting with our professionals on how to make things easier for yourself.
