in I Am a Caregiver (General Topics)

Hi there, I just downloaded the free app, Carely, to see if we can organize care and visits for my aunt. Her husband is her full-time caregiver and we are trying to make it easy for him to let us know when he would like a break or help.

Have any of you used Carely or other app? Any good tips? Thank you.

    I don't think Carely is going to work for us. It is more of a communication app than an app that we can send requests for people to sign up for tasks or visits. When I was a caregiver about 20 years ago for a friend with ALZ, there was an online portal for this - it was brilliant. I thought there would be an app by now.

    I'll keep looking!

    We have decided to try "lots of hands." So far it is promising!
