Care is a huge issue for society and growing. The squeeze on public finances means that families have to take more responsibility for care at a time when many depend on dual incomes and are also juggling other personal and family commitments. All of us would want to provide care and support for a loved one but in today’s world it is not so simple. Distance caring and sandwich caring are more and more common and we need tools to help us manage care alongside our increasingly complex daily lives.

The impact of care on individuals and families can be truly challenging. Managing a care package for your mum 100 miles away or organising a hospital appointment for your dad when you are at work can be stressful. Having someone to help - your brother or sister, cousin or friend - could be a life saver but how can you make that happen when they are not on the spot? Effectively co-ordinating care between family and friends could make all the difference.

Caring is easier when you do it Jointly

Developed by Carers UK, Jointly is a mobile and online tool designed to support busy people who juggle complex lives with looking after a loved one. It aims to make caring a little easier, less stressful and a lot more organised by making communication and co-ordination between the people who share the care as easy as a text message. Jointly combines group messaging with other useful features including to-do and medication lists, calendar and more.

You can use it on your own or you can invite other people to join you and share the care. Jointly works on iPhone, iPad , Android devices and on most modern web browsers (home computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc.)
