Friday (3/20)

Today at the CARE Center, I spent time going over the new changes to the early-stage care guide with Sarah. We discussed the differences we wanted to see in the guide, such as less emphasis on specific recommendations and legal documents, and safety considerations, and more towards general guidance and suggestions. The guide is also geared towards helping caregivers emotionally, allowing them to reflect on their thoughts and feelings that they may feel during this challenging journey. Last, we incorporated micro-goals, which allow caregivers to work slowly and lightly on large caregiving duties, such as gathering legal documents or making a care team. After making some designs, after lunch we met with Jenay to discuss the updates. She thoroughly enjoyed our new approach and added some ideas of her own. I plan to keep going with designing and adding information as I see fit.
