Alison’s Story: Coordinating Care for a Son with Autism
Alison is a 60-year-old mother of an adult son, Liam, who lives with autism and requires full-time care. Although Liam resides outside of the family home, his care involves collaboration with a team of caregivers, vocational programs, doctors, and family members. For Alison, the pressing concern is to ensure that her son receives consistent, quality care both now and in the future, especially as her daughters will eventually take on a caregiving role.
Alison shares, “I worry most about how Liam will be taken care of when we’re gone and whether his future caregivers will have what they need to step into a caregiving role. Eleplan has helped us start the process of putting the key information and documents in one place so we are all on the same page.”
Before Eleplan
Prior to using Eleplan, Alison juggled Liam’s care details across various platforms: email, phone notes, and physical filing cabinets. Without a central hub to organize and share essential documents, Alison and her family frequently found themselves scrambling to locate key information. This not only created stress and uncertainty but also led to considerable time wasted in finding the same documents repeatedly.
With Eleplan
Eleplan has been a game-changer for Alison’s family. Now, she can easily store and access all essential documents for Liam’s care, including his birth certificate, guardianship paperwork, and medical prescriptions. Moreover, Eleplan’s customization options allow Alison to create a care plan tailored to Liam’s needs, which can be updated in real time as his needs evolve. This platform gives Alison the peace of mind that Liam’s future caregivers, including her daughters, will have the necessary information to step into their roles seamlessly.
Key Features of Eleplan
- Knowledge Base: Eleplan provides users with a personalized search function, enabling them to query specific details about their loved one’s care needs. Alison can search for answers to questions like “What are Liam’s specific sensory sensitivities?” or “Does Liam have a guardian?” ensuring she and her family are always equipped with accurate, up-to-date information.
- Customized Eleplans: With over a million possible variations, Eleplan allows families to tailor a unique care plan for any scenario or individual. This flexibility means Alison can prepare for any contingency, whether it’s a sudden change in Liam’s health or the eventual transition of caregiving duties to her daughters.
- Secure Document Sharing: Eleplan allows families to securely share documents with temporary, time-limited links. This means Alison can provide access to specific files when needed without concerns about sensitive information sitting permanently in someone else’s inbox. This feature is particularly useful for sharing crucial documents like trust papers and applications for government benefits.
For families managing the complexities of caregiving, Eleplan offers more than just a digital storage solution. It provides a lifeline, enabling peace of mind through organization, accessibility, and seamless communication. With Eleplan, Alison’s family has the reassurance that Liam’s care will be as consistent and loving in the future as it is today, giving them a sense of relief and security as they navigate the uncertainties of tomorrow.
