Beyond Caregiving... Keeping In Touch
As a Caregiver you quickly realize not only are you helping the person who is ill but you now have become the main information source for friends and family members. Talk about exhausting. After taking caregiving all day the last thing you want to do is make 5 to 20 phone calls repeating the same information over and over. Here at Beyond Indigo we have designed a Caregiver Center to help you balance the many demands of providing care for an ill friend or relative. It lets you use technology to do what is important to you, which is Caregiving for your loved one or taking care of yourself while you are ill. Instead of making multiple phone calls a day you can keep everyone in the family updated at one time and at one location.
Best of all it only takes 10 minutes for a person to activate their Caregiving Center.
What Can The Center Provide?
There are three main sections on the Caregiving Page:
- A top main section to state why a person is sick and the nature of the illness to the date the Caregiving Center was made.
- A middle section where all the updates are listed. The current update is listed on the page with an archive for previous updates so people can catch up on past news.
- A bottom section where you as the owner of the Caregiving Center can state what you need from family and friends from your lawn being mowed to please bring over a dinner this Thursday.
Stay In Contact
- The Center provides your own message board system so family and friends can write back and forth to each other instead of communicating through you on the phone. The person who is ill can also receive messages this way.
- A link to send you mail directly. You choose the email address where mail will be sent.
- Think you are alone? Not so. Join other people who are Caregiving or sick at the Beyond Indigo message boards.
