Caregiver Wellbeing and Support

The Wellness Module focuses on you, the caregiver. This Module was created to emphasize your wellbeing and support as a caregiver.

If you haven’t taken a Wellness Survey yet and are just getting started, you’ll see a blank graph that reads “no entries for this metric” and the option below to Take a Wellness Survey.

Wellness Surveys are based on an evaluation called the Caregiver Strain Index. This 13-question survey is designed to be taken more than once (even weekly) to keep tabs on how you are doing mentally and emotionally as a caregiver.

If you haven’t taken a wellness survey before, click Take Your First Wellness Survey. Drag the blue ball across the slider to select your response to each question. Once you’ve taken the survey, click I’m Ready!

Finishing your Wellness Survey will add your score to the chart, and will also give you Key Areas where you can learn strategies for coping with the complexities that come with caregiving.

After you’ve taken a Wellness Survey, you can track your stress level, see your wellness scores, and even add improvement plans.

To add an Improvement Plan, select the Improve Plan dropdown. click on one of the areas for improvement below your survey score. From here, you can manually type an improvement plan, or select a premade plan from the drop down selection. Click Add, then set a due date, and click Save and Share.

Your improvement plans will also be sent to your support team.

Support Team members do not need to be a member of your care hub, and you can add whoever you would like to your support team.

To add members to your support team, select on the Support Team dropdown, click View support team. From here, either click the Green Icon or select Add Member. After entering their email and details, they will have to accept your invitation. Then, your Support Team will get weekly emailed updates about you, the caregiver, any wellness survey updates or improvement plan updates you make, and areas you may need a helping hand.
