CareNextion

CareNextion.org is caregiver friendly because it offers a free, convenient method of getting help with a wide variety of caregiving tasks.  After initially setting up an online care team of family, friends, and neighbors willing to help the care recipient, the primary caregiver – or others – simply enters the need (“Mom needs a ride to her doctor’s appointment at 10 on Friday”).  

When the first person takes the task, it disappears from everyone else’s list.  The journal feature keeps everyone in the loop, and the calendar feature keeps everyone up-to-date on the care recipient’s schedule. Caregivers also have access to assistance from a social worker.  Caregivers often find asking for help a hassle.  

CareNextion users easily communicate with those helping in the caregiving role. CareNextion reduces caregiver stress, improves communication, and encourages sharing the care:   “Keeping everyone updated on dad’s situation and trying to coordinate transportation for his doctors’ appointments, meals, and visitors was more challenging than the tasks themselves. CareNextion has made the coordination and communication so much easier.”    “I can’t believe how easy it is to use the website.  It’s easy to move around and understand.  I formed my Care Team in less than 5 minutes!”
