For Informal Caregivers
Inora for Family Carers
Inora is also here for informal caregivers! A great plan to have family carers use Inora themselves to reduce the workload for healthcare professionals and the pressure on informal caregivers.
Search
You can ask Inora anything. That's a reassuring feeling, because when you google, you never know which website and which answer to trust. With Inora, you get more certainty and confidence to make the right choices and act professionally, even in difficult situations.
Write
Inora helps with writing emails or letters to the government, to healthcare professionals, to family and so on. Inora writes very quickly and that lightens the caregiving burden.
Palliative Care
You know father won't get better. Then it's especially important in the final phase of life to provide as much comfort and dignity as possible. Just ask Inora and you'll get reliable answers on various matters such as pain management, ethical dilemmas and how to provide care with love and respect.
Activity Plan
Many elderly people become isolated. It's useful to plan activities to reduce loneliness. Inora helps with all kinds of activity plans. Think of activity plans to do very different things as a family and spread them per week, two weeks or month. Inora can also brainstorm about which activities are suitable to (still) do.
Self-care: Protecting Your Boundaries
You're exhausted. You give everything to your mother, but it seems like you yourself are collapsing… Just ask Inora how you can learn to set boundaries and how to be caring for mother and for yourself!
Learning to Take Over Nursing Tasks
Inora supports family carers in learning procedures usually performed by nurses. Think of the insulin pen, injections, wound care and so on. Usually carers receive instructions and sometimes brief training from nurses. But if you have to perform a nursing task in the middle of the night and you're uncertain… You can always ask Inora and get the information you need to perform the procedure.
Personal Coaching
Inora is the personal coach that supports you with almost everything you encounter as a family carer. You can also practise difficult conversations with Inora or ask what you definitely shouldn't do. Inora is ready to give family carers that well-deserved pat on the back and reduce pressure. Let yourself be coached as a carer, and that's about yourself, about collaboration with professional healthcare providers and of course also about the caregiving itself.
Calling the Doctor on Time
It's really difficult for family carers to determine when to call the doctor or a nurse or not. Inora is ready to answer this for you. That's a reassuring feeling and it especially helps when it's the middle of the night and you as a carer really doubt what to do or not.
Working with Healthcare Professionals
I increasingly experience tension with healthcare professionals when I give my mother a glass of red wine around dinner time. They don't want that in the nursing home and I don't see why this is a problem. Irritating is that I have to have the same discussion with a different healthcare professional every day. My mother has entered the final phase of her life and it was tradition to drink a glass of red wine… What's wrong with that?
Knowledge and Understanding about Illnesses and Impact
Inora helps understand what's really going on by providing knowledge and information that explains what's happening and how best to deal with it. You can also ask for tips and, for example, have an email written for family and acquaintances with the knowledge and information needed, including tips and pitfalls for dealing well with him.
Brainstorming
Sometimes you just don't know anymore. You'd like to bring more variety into father or mother's life, but you have no idea what to do. Inora can help brainstorm and that works best when you ask for a list of activities based on some details about father or mother.
Middle of the Night: Panic!
Everything seems worse in the middle of the night. If something happens with my mother then, I can really panic. It's unnecessary, because physically my mother has hardly any problems. But her behaviour is sometimes so strange that I really don't know what to do. In the middle of the night you don't just call a nurse to ask what to do. Fortunately, there's Inora.
You deserve support too
Caregiving is tough. Let Inora help you with reliable answers and personal coaching, when you need it.
