eCareDiary helps caregivers keep in touch

With the duties of family caregiving sometimes spread among several relatives -- and over thousands of miles -- a new resource can help everyone stay organized and informed.

Care Diary, an online tool available at eCareDiary.com, lets caregivers set up an electronic calendar that all members of the family can access.

The diary can show doctors' appointments, medication schedules and other vital health-care information. You also can set up a blog that others can read and contribute to. The primary caregiver updates the calendar and decides who can access the diary.

After registering with eCareDiary.com, there is no charge to set up an account and access the diary. (Click here to connect.)
