Free tools, comparisons and working documents
- CareCircleLog compared with the tools families already tryMost families land here after a group text, a wall calendar and a paper pill list stopped agreeing about what happened yesterday.
- CareCircleLog vs CaringBridgeCaringBridge is for keeping a wide circle of friends and relatives informed, while CareCircleLog is for the four or five people who actually give the doses and drive to the appointments.
- CareCircleLog vs Lotsa Helping HandsLotsa Helping Hands is built to rally a community of volunteers around meals, rides and visits, while CareCircleLog is built for the small circle that runs medications, appointments and aide hours month after month.
- CareCircleLog vs Google SheetsA shared spreadsheet and a family calendar cost nothing and bend to any shape you want, while CareCircleLog trades that flexibility for structure that already knows what a dose, a ride and a shift are.
- Free calculators for families paying for care at homeTwo numbers decide most caregiving plans: what the paid hours cost each month, and how many hours nobody is covering.
- Care Cost RunwayPut the aide hours, the hourly rate and your parent's monthly income in one place and see the real gap and the runway behind it.
- Coverage Gap PlannerCount the hours your parent should not be alone, subtract everyone's actual contribution, and see what is left before the next family meeting.
- Free resources for families caring for an aging parentEverything here is free, written for the adult child doing the coordinating, and meant to be used on a weeknight rather than read for pleasure.
