What tool can help multiple family caregivers deliver high quality care?

Question

My mother has dementia and several family caregivers support her. I'm looking for an app that will keep all of her caregivers connected and up to date on my mother's care. What do you suggest?

Our answer

Providing consistent, quality care can become challenging when several people are involved.

CaringBridge (at caringbridge.org) is a software application that connects multiple family caregivers by tracking appointments, monitoring changes in health, and providing motivational messages. To record and access information, you can use a computer, by going to the CaringBridge website, or a smartphone, by using the CaringBridge app. This app, which can only be downloaded for Apple devices, is free.
