My Support

Research has demonstrated that having a robust support system is associated with numerous positive benefits, such as increased levels of well-being, improved coping mechanisms, and an overall longer and healthier life. Access to relevant and helpful information is vital in this regard, as it can truly make a difference in your caregiving journey.

As a holder of the card, your account offers a wide range of valuable information. This includes various guides on best practices.

In the event of an emergency

Your card contains two 'In Case of Emergency (ICE)' contact details, which are crucial pieces of information that can be utilized in case of illness or injury. Anyone who sees or finds the card has access to two contacts they can call to notify them of the situation.

An incredibly helpful document called the 'Carer's Emergency Plan' provides important details about the person you are caring for. You have the option to create this plan within your account. The plan can be shared with your designated Carer Circle (explained below), and it can also be accessed through your ID card by scanning the QR code and answering a security question using any smartphone camera.

* The creation of a 'Carer's Emergency Plan' is an optional feature.

Your Carer Circle

Our 'Carer Circle' tool enables you to establish a support network for the person you care for. It assists you in organizing your caregiving responsibilities by allowing you to add notes, tasks, appointments, medication lists, and monitor the well-being of the person being cared for.

If you share caregiving responsibilities with someone else, you can invite them to join your Carer Circle. This tool makes it easier for you to collaborate as a team, even if the other person isn't heavily involved in the caregiving role. It also ensures they stay updated on the person's condition.

* Creating a Carer Circle is an optional feature.
