Connect for Healthcare - By AgingCare.com – The Community for Care Givers - October 20, 2009
Connect for Healthcare is a desirable alternative for family members who live long distances from their elderly loved ones. If an aging parent is receiving hospice care or lives in an assisted living or a skilled nursing facility in another city or even another state, family members can feel disconnected from their loved one’s life, health and well-being.
Connect for Healthcare allows for the long-distance family members to receive weekly or twice-weekly updates about their senior loved one. By sending written updates rather than oral updates, the facility is likely to pay closer attention to the care of the senior individual. By using Connect for Healthcare, family members can choose the wellness criterion that they wish to be updates on (i.e. eating, sleeping, medication, etc.) and can choose their desired medium of communication (i.e. web page, e-mail, text message, etc.).
When family members live far away, it is difficult to know whether or not their elderly relative is receiving the proper care and attention that they (or you!) are paying for and that they need. By using Connect for Healthcare, family members can be assured that their loved one is well taken care of.
