A Veteran is a Veteran Every Day

Friday was November 11th, the day to say thanks to our Veterans. The thing is, a Veteran is a Veteran every day and most of them need help just as often. As people grow older, their dependencies on supplemental care grow too. At some point, many will need around the clock care. This is where Caregivers come into play. They provide that supplemental care that cannot otherwise be obtained.

A Caregiver is someone who cares for an aging or ill person. In order to perform their duties effectively, Caregivers will need to understand who they are caring for. Financial, medical and health histories are very important to collect and track. For most Caregivers, this will require a great amount of time and effort. Therefore, one of the best tools a Caregiver could have is a Personal Health Record that can be managed by a computer.

With a Personal Health Record that is manageable via computer, not only will pertinent medical and health history be listed in an easy to read/follow format, but everything else that may pertain to legal and medical documentation can be laid out and managed also. This is perfect for the trips between lawyers, banking institutions and medical facilities. Instead of carrying and flipping through possibly hundreds of files and folders, you will only need a credit-card sized USB Personal Health Record.

It's important that those who risked their lives so future generations may continue to live in a free society get the care that they deserve. Don't wait for Veterans Day to say thanks, say thanks every day. If you know of a Veteran who could use an extra hand, especially in preparing for the future, consider at least introducing the thoughts of Caregivers and Personal Health Records to them. This may be that extra bit of ease on their minds.
