Keeping track of medical history, shopping for alternative living arrangments, and discussion of financial planning under one roof is efficient. Too many surprises with end-of-life decisions could be avoided with these tracking tools. For those tracking their own histories ensure that someone you trust has access to your records and will follow-through with those choices. Why was my friend surprised that two sons rather the father less literate were named executors of their mother's estate?
The following is the mission statement of eCare Diary taken from its website that is recommended by professionals in the senior care industry:
"eCare Diary is a website created based on the founder’s, John Mills, experience as a caregiver for his father who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease. Having spent over 20 years working in the health care system, John found coordinating long term care to be difficult because of the lack of good information. eCare Diary provides comprehensive information, tools and resources to help those seeking and providing long term care. A unique feature is our Care Diary, a set of online tools designed to make coordination of care and sharing of information easy amongst family members and other caregivers. eCare Diary also has a comprehensive database of nursing home and home care services, guides on long term care financing and information on important health care documents everyone should have. The site will continue to grow and more information and tools will be added in the months ahead. We hope eCare Diary helps simplify your situation by providing you the tools and information you need."
