supporting the Caregiver is Supporting the Patient
We’ve built the material for you! Our Caregiver Action Plan was built for caregivers by caregivers. We know firsthand how important it is for caregivers to have the support of their loved one’s medical team.
Why White Label the Caregiver Action Plan
It is vitally important that caregivers understand how to build a support system within their own community. The last thing they need is to spend countless hours searching online to discover what they need and how to build it on top of working a full-time job, raising their children, juggling family responsibilities and caring for their loved one’s increased needs.
You have the ability to positively impact the health and welfare of the whole family, not just the patient, immediately at diagnosis. If the patient is lucky, this is the first time they’re experiencing a life altering diagnosis. That means that this is the first time they’re going to have to make life altering adjustments.
Your patient’s caregivers need your support!
Caregivers need to learn how to navigate their new normal and activate their network – IMMEDIATELY.
Our Caregiver Action Plan is a 50+ page guide that walks caregivers through their own self-care, conducting a household needs assessment, identifying key information for their loved one, finding resources, putting together trackers for daily/weekly information (this is especially helpful if there are multiple family caregivers providing secondary support) and of course developing their family plan.

In-Person Training & Support
Your team is busy.
Doctors don’t have the time to get involved in the planning of day-to-day care at home. However, studies have shown that the preparedness of the caregiver directly impacts the health and welfare of the patient.
Schedule a member of our team to come to your facility and host a monthly learning session.
Caregivers will learn how to best utilize the Caregiver Action Plan and have the support needed to talk through individualized scenarios.
Hospitals that invest in caregiver education reduce readmission rates and improve patient compliance with at home regimines and discharge plans.
why support the caregiver
The diagnosis affects more than just the patient. It affects the whole family.
Patient Impact:
Increase your patient compliance, shorten recovery times and lessen readmittance rates by increasing the preparedness and support of the caregiver.
Caregiver Impact:
Even airlines tell you to secure your oxygen mask before assisting other passgengers. The Caregiver Action Plan is the caregiver’s oxygen mask.
Critical Decisions – 1st 48 Hours
Your patients’ caregivers will make critical decisions regarding at home care, resources and routine within the first 48 hours of diagnosis.
Hospitals and physicans have the power to shorten the caregiver’s learning curve; saving valuable time, energy and avoidable stress.
40% Report High Anxiety
Most caregivers begin their role with no formal training and many of them are experiencing this role for the first time.
More household responsibilities will now fall to them on top of increased responsibilities for the patient’s care. Their health suffers. Having a plan helps to prevent some anxiety.
Report Burnout in 1st 90 Days
Most caregivers will attempt to handle everything on their own. Afterall, no one knows their household and family needs better than they do.
Without a plan to active a support system, they will struggle to juggle their existing responsibilities, a new care regimine and a healthy lifestyle themselves.
