Caregiver Management Systems
Bonya Cares began because I unexpectedly became a caregiver managing my parent's complex medical care. There was no roadmap, no guidance, and no time to figure things out. I quickly learned how difficult it is to make important decisions while trying to manage the realities of caregiving.
A few years later, I became a caregiver again for another family member. Although medical circumstances were very different, I relied on the same system I had created. Having important information, documents, and plans in one place allowed me to focus on advocating for my family member.
As friends faced caregiving responsibilities of their own, I shared these tools with them and saw how much having a system reduced stress and brought greater confidence.
Bonya Cares was built from these experiences and from the belief that no caregiver should have to scramble, start from scratch, or learn everything the hard way. My hope is that these tools provide the guidance, structure, and support I wish someone had given me when I first became a caregiver.
Because when a new diagnosis, hospitalization, or unexpected health event happens, most caregivers wish they had someone to show them what to expect, how to prepare, and how to advocate with confidence.
