Michael’s mother had a stroke and could no longer care for herself, so Michael became her caregiver. He discovered the constant need to repeat care giving information to various caregivers so he ended up carrying a binder with him that contained his parent's medical documents. During this period Michael’s company hired an Elder Family Resource person to help manage the complexities of her care. James, a longtime friend of Micheal’s, had a similar experience. His father developed sudden onset Parkinson's after his mother passed away and so couldn’t care for himself. James lived far away, but his sisters lived near his dad. As his dad’s needs increased, it became increasingly difficult to manage the household and care giving information between siblings. Michael and James talked about their respective care giving challenges and the need for a way to store and share critical documents became obvious. This led to their forming ElderAdmin to fulfill this very important need. This service stores images of their documents, and you can access it anywhere!  OK…anywhere Internet can be accessed. Whether you use their program or not, you'll need access to documents.  Some of the critical documents that are needed for care giving are: • Advanced Healthcare Directive • Power of Attorney • Will or Trust • Estate Planning Documents • List of Medications • Health Status • Insurance Documents • Financial Account Statements ElderAdmin can help take the headache out of keeping track of your parent's medical documents: It is a membership plan that can be accessed via computer, tablet, or smartphone. There is a free service is for individuals.  If you need more than one person to be able to access the info, then you can get that for $9.50 per month (as of 3/2017) for unlimited access and storage. One of the great features of ElderAdmin is in the area of security. Whoever posts the document has ultimate control over who can and who can’t access particular sections containing information.
