Coordinating schedules among your caregiving team can be a real challenge. Think about how difficult it is to stay on top of your own calendar as a Caregiver with work, family, and other social responsibilities! Find out how the use of a coordinated calendar amongst a group of caregivers can save time and energy, help you avoid mistakes and miscommunications, and ultimately reduce stress for everyone involved.
6 Ways Coordinated Calendars Help Caregivers
Maintaining a coordinated calendar among a group of Caregivers helps you to:
- Stay organized and informed collectively
- Ensure responsibilities and appointments are evenly distributed across the team
- Request help with a given task from within your trusted circle
- Communicate changes or additions easily and effectively to an entire group
- Reduce errors and missed appointments
- Save time and energy
