Defining Differences in Caregiving

Acute/Immediate Caregiving
- When someone is in the hospital, recovering from short term illness or surgery.
Intermittent Caregiving
When someone requires some care, or is expected to make a full recovery.
Long Term/Intense Caregiving
- When someone isn't expected to make a fully recovery. It could be several months or several years. This level of caregiving is all encompassing.
Post Caregiving
- After your loved one no longer requires help, navigating the world again can be hard.

CaringBridge
CaringBridge SiteFamily and friends want to be updated on surgery, progress, or how to help. Instead of texting, emailing and calling a long list of family and friends, create a free CaringBridge site.
Tara has done it both ways texting/calling individuals and using CaringBridge. She highly recommends using CaringBridge to update everyone. It's saves a lot of time and reduces your stress level.
Pro tip: Ask someone else to help maintain the site, it's a huge help. Especially day of surgery or right when they come come home. -
