Who Should Be a Part of Your Care Team?

When you create your care team, reach out to everyone you want to share information with, ask for help from and who you would want to be an active part in helping you care for your parents or loved ones. Whether they are close by or thousands of miles away, Making Care Easier helps you identify ways that everyone can help. Remember caring isn't only providing medical assistance; caring is everything from household chores or making meals to buying new clothes when needed or taking someone to an appointment.

Dashboard

The family dashboard is your one-stop destination to find out what needs to be done and get information, how your loved one is feeling and to get suggestions for your specific caregiving situation.

Care Center

The Care Center is the first place you can go to find out what's happening across your care group. See messages, care updates, tasks and any open issues your care team sends in one convenient place. The Take Action link lets you easily connect with your care team:

Create a General Task - sets up a task for the entire care team.
Send a Message - lets you send a message to any specific team member or the entire team at once.
Manage the Care Team - takes you to the Our Team section where you can manage your care team and invite new members.
Product Purchase Needed - helps you identify specifically what your loved one needs and lets anyone in your care team volunteer to purchase it.
Upload a Document - takes you to the Our Documents section where you can securely upload and store important care plans and information.

Care Updates

Tracking how your loved one is doing should be clear and easy. Anyone from your care team can quickly and easily share an update. Encourage your entire care team to report any of your loved ones physical or mental changes so you have a record of how their health is changing. Be sure to share this information with their doctors and professional caregivers.

How-To Lists

How-to lists are a great place to get ideas how your care team can help be involved in caring. MCE offers recommendations based on your caregiving situation.

Products

Visit the MCE Product Store to find products that help make caring easier. If you have products that you would like to suggestion, please e-mail us at products@MakingCareEasier.com.

Our Documents

Making Care Easier provides a secure location for you and your care team to store and share information. Whether it's an emergency or just finding someone to share caregiver duties for the day, being able to access information is critical to providing excellent care for your loved one.

Never put sensitive information online (such as banking account numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc.). Instead, create a secure location (such as a home safe or bank vault) where you can store important information and documents.

Care Plans

MCE provides sample emergency, daily care and medicine plans so you can share specific care directives with your entire care team. In addition, you can upload your own documents to share with your care team.
