Coordinated caregiving doesn't happen by accident

Every family caregiver eventually faces the same gaps: no one knows who holds medical authority, responsibilities overlap or fall through, the primary caregiver is running on empty with no backup, and the plan exists only in someone's head. CarerView gives your team a structured framework to close those gaps — and ongoing observations to keep the plan accurate as needs evolve.

The Care Plan

A professional-grade framework built for families

The CarerView Care Plan covers every dimension that matters — not just the care recipient's needs, but the team's capacity, the legal authority structure, and a mechanism for keeping the plan current. Each section asks the questions families discover they needed answers to months earlier.

Situation

What is the current state? What decisions need to be made now?

Authority

Who can make medical decisions? Who controls finances? Are legal documents in place?

Responsibilities

Who owns personal care, health coordination, finances, emotional support, and respite? No owner means no accountability.

Living Arrangement

Is the current living situation safe and sustainable? What needs to change as needs evolve?

Sustainability

Can the primary caregiver keep this up? Is there backup cover, respite time, and support for the person doing the caring?

Review

When does the plan need revisiting? Who calls the review and how does the team stay aligned as needs change?

The Decision Engine: gaps surfaced before they become crises

As you build your Care Plan, CarerView's Decision Engine reads what is missing and flags it by severity. Critical gaps — like missing medical authority or no backup caregiver — appear at the top. Important gaps — like unassigned responsibilities — follow. The plan tells you what to act on first, not what to worry about later.

Caregiver Wellbeing

CarerView tracks the carer, not just the care recipient

Caregiver burnout is one of the biggest risks in family care — and it's usually invisible until it's too late. CarerView's Sustainability section tracks stress levels, backup cover, and respite planning for the primary caregiver. When the plan flags a risk, the team knows before a crisis forces the conversation.

Built for real caregiving situations

Long-distance family coordination

"I'm out of town. I hated feeling out of the loop. CarerView lets me check the latest observations before I call."

  • See updates in one place—no more hunting for info.
  • Review trends to prep for phone calls and visits.
  • Share only what each person needs to see.

Sandwich-generation caregiver

"Between my kids and Mum's appointments, I forget details. CarerView captures patterns so I bring clear notes to the doctor."

  • Capture incidents and routines as they happen.
  • Create clinic-ready summaries from real-life notes.
  • Make calmer decisions with shared context.

Managing a hospital discharge

Discharge day was overwhelming. CarerView helped us turn a pile of instructions into a real plan — everyone knew their role within 48 hours.

  • Responsibilities assigned from day one — no one falls through the gaps
  • Observations started immediately — early warning if something shifts
  • Clinician-ready summaries to share at follow-up appointments

Primary caregiver near burnout

I was doing everything alone and nobody could see it. CarerView made my situation visible to the rest of the family — and that's when things finally started to change.

  • Stress level tracked and visible to the whole team — not just the caregiver
  • Backup caregiver identified and plan documented before the breaking point
  • Responsibilities redistributed fairly — based on facts, not arguments

Four pillars. One coordinated care system.

Simple Observations

Spend just a few minutes noting how things went across core Activities of Daily Living. Create quick check-ins or complete Observations anytime.

Easy 1–5 scale

Clear wording—no medical jargon—grounded in occupational therapy best practices that families can understand.

Trends you can trust

See changes over days - weeks - months, not just how today felt. Observed trends highlight when to adjust routines or supports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CarerView, care planning, and coordination.

What is an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment?
An Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment measures how well a person can perform basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around. CarerView uses a simple 1-5 scale so family caregivers can track these changes consistently over time and share meaningful reports with healthcare providers.
How does CarerView help family caregivers track changes in a loved one?
CarerView provides structured observation forms covering ADL and IADL activities. You record a quick 1-5 score and optional notes for each check-in. Over time, these build into a clear picture of what's changing — so you can spot trends, adjust care plans, and arrive at doctor appointments with specific, documented observations rather than vague impressions.
Can multiple family members use CarerView together?
Yes. The Family Circle plan allows you to invite siblings, spouses, or professional in-home carers to a shared care view. Everyone sees the same observations and can add their own. This eliminates the friction that commonly causes stress in families sharing caregiving responsibilities.
Can I share CarerView observation reports with doctors or care professionals?
Yes. CarerView can export your observation history as a DOCX or CSV file that you can bring to GP appointments, specialist consultations, or care reviews. Having a written record of changes over weeks and months is far more useful to healthcare providers than trying to recall how things were three months ago.
How is CarerView different from a general care notes app?
CarerView is a full care coordination system — not just a notes app. It includes a structured Care Plan with six sections, a Decision Engine that flags missing pieces by severity, a Memory Book that gives every team member instant context, and an observation framework based on the ADL and IADL scales used by healthcare professionals.
What is CarerView's Decision Engine?
The Decision Engine is a built-in analysis tool that scans your Care Plan as you build it and identifies missing or incomplete sections. It flags gaps by severity — critical (act now), important (act soon), or monitor (keep an eye on). It's not a medical tool — it's a coordination tool that helps your team focus on what matters most.
How does CarerView tell me my plan has gaps?
Your Care Plan dashboard shows a summary of detected gaps grouped by section and severity. Each gap includes a short description of the risk and a suggested action step. The most urgent gap is highlighted at the top. You can work through gaps in any order — the plan updates in real time as you address them.
