The Wellness Module shifts the focus to you, the caregiver. It offers the tools and support you need to prioritize your own wellbeing, so you have what it takes to keep showing up for the people who count on you.
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.
First Wellness Survey
If you haven't taken a Wellness Survey before, the graph in the Wellness Module will read 'No entries for this metric,' as shown in the picture below:
To begin, click Take Your First Wellness Survey. Adjust the blue ball on the slider to select your response to each question. Once you've answered all the questions, click I'm Ready!
Once you finish your Wellness Survey, your score will be added to the graph, along with tailored strategies to help you manage the complexities of caregiving.
Improvement Plans
After completing a Wellness Survey, you can add Improvement Plans to help you build on your results.
To add an Improvement Plan follow these steps:
Click the Improvement Plan dropdown.
Select an area of improvement.
Either manually type an Improvement Plan or select a premade plan from dropdown selection.
Select Add.
Enter due date and click Save.
Your improvement plans will also be sent to your support team.
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, follow these steps:
Select the Support Team dropdown.
Click View Support Team.
Either click the green icon or Add Member.
Enter support team member's email address and details.
Support team member will need to Accept Invitation from email.
Your Support Team will receive weekly email updates about you, the caregiver. These updates include any changes to your Wellness Survey or Improvement Plan, along with areas where you may need a helping hand.
Your Support Team is separate from your Care Hub. They're people you personally choose to keep updated on your wellness journey, and don't need to be part of your Care Hub at all. If you're looking to add a family member, friend, or care receiver to help manage caregiving, see Connecting Your Family in the Care Hub instead.
