Being a caregiver for a senior family member can be tough. From keeping medical information, to appointments it can be difficult to keep track of everything. We have found some helpful apps & websites that can help make caregiving a little easier. We hope you find these useful.
- Losta Helping Hands: This is a free platform if you have more than 1 person helping with your senior care. You can easily set up and share calendars. It also allows for your group to volunteer from everything to providing a meal to covering transportation.
- Care Zone: This helpful app makes it easy for family caregivers to store and save important health information. Keep track of medications and get automated medication reminders. This app is available on iOS and Android.
- Caring Village: Another great app that can be used to organize and share a senior’s health-related information. The mobile app allows you to store documents, care plans and daily “to do” lists.
- MyMeds: This is a med-management system that provides real-time access between patients, providers and physicians. You can download the med list and set up dosage reminders.
- MedMinder: Electronic pill dispensers that work off wireless technology. Depending on the model you choose they can unlock the compartment with timed dosage to alert a family member if a medication is missed.
