For the professional caregiver:

Providing professional, quality home-based care requires a lot of work. Caregivers must balance the needs of multiple clients while staying profitable. Typically caregivers must make regular visits, "just in case" they are needed. Often these visits are unnecessary and frustrating because they prevent the caregiver from comfortably taking on more clients or from providing top-quality service. It is no secret that guesswork eats away at revenue and service quality, and caregivers just don't know what is going on at all times with their clients.

ElderWatch by CyberNet Solutions can assist professional caregivers to provide better service and reduce costs. ElderWatch allows for remote monitoring and communication with multiple clients without making unnecessary visits to the home, which improves care by freeing up time to focus on what is actually needed.

With a monitoring solution from ElderWatch, caregivers can remotely and securely monitor how their clients are doing, and be instantly alerted if somebody needs help. ElderWatch compliments the professional caregiver by providing information that would be otherwise unavailable. Essentially, the caregiver can attend to all clients at once and be ready to take action when it is needed.

In addition, ElderWatch facilitates improved communication. By keeping family members "in the loop" and allowing them easy, direct communication with their loved one, much of the communication burden placed on caregivers is lifted as they no longer must mediate between family and senior. This provides a more enjoyable work environment.

Testimonials

Henry & his extended Caregiver Network:
Henry is 75 years old and lives independently in Sun City West, Arizona. He’s physically fit – he works out and goes to an exercise class in the community. Henry used to live in Michigan, but after his retirement, he decided to move to a warmer climate. His children and grandchildren live all around the country from California to Boston.

Even though Henry stays healthy and fit, his children can’t help but worry about him. They decided to install GrandCare, COMO, into his home so they could have that “peace of mind” from a distance. Henry enjoys watching his COMO TV Channel and see all of the updated information that his children and grandchildren have added. His grandchildren often send cell phone pictures on a daily basis.

Since all of the children live out of state, they elected to work with a home-based care organization. A caregiver named Molly comes to Henry’s apartment twice a week to do some light house work, take him on outings and provide him with some companionship. Molly and her organization work directly with Henry, his extended family and GrandCare Systems. If a situation arises, GrandCare alerts Molly directly, so she can respond quickly. Henry’s family loves it, because they can continually check GrandCare and be a part of Henry’s caregiver network from afar. Molly leaves notes right on GrandCare for Henry’s family to see. If Henry wins at bingo or if he has a cold, Henry’s family knows immediately and can feel “in the loop”.
