Caregiving Made Easier

"Our technology is simple. Our Mission is extraordinary."

As a parent navigates through the endless decisions and expenses of changing homes, independent living, assisted living, occasional hospitalizations, nursing home care, hiring home aids, and eventually hospice and respite care, the help of family is often the difference between happiness and hopelessness.

Fear of making mistakes, loss of independence, loneliness, and strangers caring for them can lead to loss of interest, depression and anxiety.

Of course families want the best for parents, however, balancing it all is challenging. Who should help with plans? What promises were made? Who decides how decisions are made?  When?  Where?  In fact, who decides anything?  Is there even a discussion? Is it fair? Does it need to be fair?  Who is going to do all the work?

How Caregivers Help

Managing the day-to-day life and affairs of another person, possibly with the help of other people, is complicated. Successfully doing so in a loving and caring manner requires a level of communication and attention to detail that can be difficult in today's environment.

VillageCRM addresses these issues by recognizing that caregivers can be far apart, not only in distance, but also in how peers see fit to care for another. By providing a secure platform where information can be recorded and exchanged, opinions can be shared, and plans made, VillageCRM makes everyone feel both a part of the process and fully informed.

43.5 Million Caregivers Need Help

Caregivers’ responsibilities often extend beyond the traditional ADLs and IADLs, to interacting with various providers, agencies, and professionals on their care recipient’s behalf. Two out of three monitor their care recipient’s condition to adjust care (66%), 63 percent communicate with health care professionals, and 50 percent advocate for their recipient. Higher-hour caregivers are more likely to report doing each of these tasks, suggesting that these activities are not without their own additive effect on caregivers’ time. 

All of these activities add up to a burden of care that varies widely for caregivers: 40 percent of caregivers report high burden, 18 percent report moderate burden, and 41 percent report a relatively low burden.

The Mission of VillageCRM is to continuously improve a caregiver's ability to efficiently manage the lifecycle of recipient-centric data, information, and knowledge resulting in improvements to lifestyle, finances, and health of recipients and caregivers.
