Who does LivBetter help?
Helping Primary Caregivers
By making it easier to look after a person in need, LivBetter allows primary caregivers to regain or maintain their lifstyles while caring for a loved one. It makes it easier to care.
Supporting a person in need is often viewed with apprehension. We don’t have training for the task, and, by offering, we often become the one looking after everything – this can be a significant challenge. And once you start, it’s hard to stop supporting someone and say “No”. So the term “Caregiver” comes with mixed connotations – it can be rewarding, but is a commitment that can be seriously hard work without much reward.

When is LivBetter most useful?
If a person is only organising a single activity, he or she does not need this solution. However, LivBetter becomes increasingly useful as the number of supporters, or the number of activities, involved increases. Such a tool is most useful when:
- Different groups of people or support agencies are involved;
- Multiple activities need to be coordinated and scheduled;
- Family and friends would like to offer support;
- People don’t know what support is available locally; and
- Logistics are complex and need to be carefully coordinated.
