“This has been a wonderful help to our community. You have started something that is truly a gift at a time when people are focused on other matters, but need help and stability with the basics. Thank you for providing excellent tech support as well as a caring place for us to help our friends and family!”
–Kiyo, California
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is proud to offer the Lotsa Helping Hands service to our patients and their loved ones. The service brings together caregivers and volunteers through online Communities that organize daily life during times of medical crisis or caregiver exhaustion in neighborhoods and communities worldwide.
The hallmark of the service is the caregiver-focused Help Calendar, which enables members to schedule and sign up for tasks that provide respite for the caregiver including meals for the family, rides to medical appointments, and visits. Members can also communicate with one another through message boards, post personal blogs, share photos, and send well wishes to the family. And Coordinators can safely store and retrieve vital information for the family – from medical and health records to financial and legal documents.
Now, when someone asks “what can I do to help?” the answer is “give me your name and email address” – the system takes over and allows people to sign up and start helping.
