Senior Care Resources for Family Caregivers in Connecticut

Senior Care Resources for Family Caregivers in Connecticut

December 30, 2013 Posted by Ann Jamison Assisted Living, Uncategorized No Comments

Last month we talked about warning signs to look for in an aging parent. We offered tips to help you better educate your clients and patients on how to tell when a senior loved one might need help. This month we are sharing a few of the caregiver resources that are available to help families. Especially those long distance caregivers who might be returning home to Connecticut or New York for the holidays.

Here are a few that can help families organize and manage their caregiver responsibilities:

  •  Caregivers Touch – These mobile technologies allow caregivers organize to a loved one’s health and personal information. A subscription to the website gives you a secure place to store everything from insurance information to a medication list. It can easily be shared with other family caregivers. They also have a mobile phone app you can sync with your online files to keep up-to-date information at your fingertips.
  •  Health Tracker – This free app allows you to record your loved one’s daily health information. It acts as a great mobile health information center where you can store and track blood pressure, temperate, weight, blood glucose and more.
  • Care Zone – This free tool offers a place to store everything you need to manage a friend or family member’s care. Features include a shareable journal, calendar, medication tracking and more. You can also add an unlimited number of “helpers” to the account while still controlling what they can access.
  • Lotsa Helping Hands – A helpful tool when multiple families and friends want to be involved in supporting a loved one. The calendar feature allows meals, events and other needs to be to be easily coordinated.
  • Be Close Home Monitoring Technology – This technology might initially seem too “big brother” for some families. But it helps an aging parent to stay independent and in their own home. Discrete sensors are placed throughout their home. They allow you to track how your loved one is doing throughout the day from information those sensors gather. The system alerts are a nice feature. They will send you a message if an exterior door is opened at night, if your loved one hasn’t gotten out of bed yet and more.

We also have a variety of links to senior care resources on our own website that you might find useful.

Do you know of a caregiver app or tool we missed that you find helpful?
