New Feature: Family Dashboard Now Available

Caring for aging parents is a journey filled with love, dedication, and often, a healthy dose of stress. At ElderVoice, we understand the challenges you face – the late-night phone calls, the juggling of your own responsibilities, and the constant worry about your loved one's well-being. That's why we're thrilled to announce the launch of our new Family Dashboard, designed to bring you peace of mind and empower you with the information you need to provide the best possible care.

The Family Dashboard is a centralized hub that provides a clear and comprehensive overview of your parent's daily activities and well-being, all in one convenient location. We know how difficult it can be to stay informed when you're managing care from a distance, or even when you're living nearby but juggling multiple responsibilities. This new feature is designed to bridge that gap and give you the insights you need to feel confident in the care your loved one is receiving.

Why We Created the Family Dashboard

We built the Family Dashboard because we heard you. We know that staying informed about your parent's health and well-being is a top priority. According to a study by AARP, over 40 million Americans provide unpaid care to older adults. Many of these caregivers report feeling overwhelmed and stressed, often struggling to balance their caregiving responsibilities with their own lives. We wanted to create a tool that would alleviate some of that burden and make it easier for families to stay connected and informed.

Furthermore, the CDC reports that falls are a leading cause of injury and death from injury among older Americans. Knowing whether your loved one is consistently checking in, taking their medications, and maintaining a positive mood can be crucial in preventing such incidents. The Family Dashboard provides insights into these key areas, allowing you to proactively address potential concerns.

Key Features and Benefits

The Family Dashboard offers a range of features designed to provide a holistic view of your parent's well-being:

  • Daily Check-In Logs: Caregivers can now view detailed logs of daily check-in calls. See when the calls were made, the duration of the calls, and any notes or observations recorded by our team. This allows you to stay informed about your parent's daily routine and any potential issues that may arise.
  • Medication Reminders: Track whether your parent is adhering to their medication schedule. The dashboard displays a clear record of medication reminders sent and confirmed, helping you ensure they are receiving the medications they need on time. This is especially important given that medication non-adherence is a significant problem among older adults, often leading to adverse health outcomes (NIH study).
  • Mood Tracking: Monitor your parent's mood over time. The dashboard displays mood trends, allowing you to identify any potential signs of depression or anxiety. Early detection is crucial, as mental health issues can significantly impact an older adult's overall well-being and quality of life.
  • Centralized Information: All of this information is presented in a clear and easy-to-understand format, eliminating the need to sift through multiple reports or communicate with various caregivers. The Family Dashboard puts everything you need at your fingertips.

Peace of Mind, Simplified

With the Family Dashboard, you can:

  • Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Knowing that you have a clear overview of your parent's daily activities can significantly reduce your stress and anxiety levels.
  • Improve Communication: The dashboard provides a common platform for family members and caregivers to stay informed and communicate effectively.
  • Proactively Address Concerns: By monitoring trends in check-in calls, medication adherence, and mood, you can proactively address any potential concerns before they escalate.
  • Enhance the Quality of Care: The Family Dashboard empowers you to make informed decisions about your parent's care, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.

How the Family Dashboard Works

The Family Dashboard is seamlessly integrated into the ElderVoice platform. Once your parent is enrolled in our services, you will receive access to the dashboard through a secure online portal. You can access the dashboard from any device – computer, tablet, or smartphone – allowing you to stay connected on the go.

  1. Log In: Use your unique credentials to log in to the ElderVoice platform.
  2. Navigate to the Family Dashboard: Select the "Family Dashboard" option from the main menu.
  3. View the Data: Explore the various sections of the dashboard to view detailed logs of check-in calls, medication reminders, and mood tracking.

Empowering You to Provide the Best Care

We believe that the Family Dashboard will be a valuable tool for families caring for aging parents. It's more than just a collection of data; it's a way to stay connected, informed, and empowered. It's a way to show your love and support, even when you can't be there in person.

According to a study published in the Journal of Gerontology, family involvement in caregiving is associated with improved outcomes for older adults, including reduced hospitalizations and increased longevity. The Family Dashboard is designed to facilitate this involvement, making it easier for you to play an active role in your parent's care.
