Care Calendar - a handy website

1 minute read time.

I've been using carecalendar.org to try and co-ordinate my visitors. It's free for individuals, and you can make a donation if you want to. It's a good way to try and co ordinate friends, This is what their website says.....

"What is CareCalendar? CareCalendar is a web based system to organize meals and other help for families during a time of illness or life changing event, such as the birth of a baby or death of a family member.

Simply list the help that is needed and your family and friends can sign up to fill those needs. CareCalendar can also be used for long term situations, including homebound and caregiver respite care needs as well as supporting military families during a deployment.

Helper Benefits Stay informed: Read status updates and view photos Sign-up to help: See what help is needed and sign yourself up to fill those needs. Receive e-mail notifications: Get reminders about needs that you signed up to fill. Get maps and driving directions: Know how to get to the recipients location, turn by turn. Access when convenient: CareCalendar is available around the clock.

As long as you have access to the Internet, you can get to CareCalendar. No need to worry about interrupting the coordinator's day when you can easily look it up for yourself."

I just used it to organise hospital visits because there was a limit on how many people could visit at a time and as I was quite a long way from home I thought it would be good to spread out anyone who wanted to visit to try and give my husband a bit of time off (round trip taking anything between 2 and 3 hours).

It would be quite good if you needed help once you got home or lifts as well.
