Whoever creates the account for a family member, or friend, is the Care Administrator. The Care Administrator manages adding and removing family and friends from the Care-Circle. When the Care Administrator adds a person to the Care-Cirle that person must have a valid email address to validate their login name. Also, the roll of Care Administrator can be reassigned to another person in the Care-Circle at any time. Other members of the Care-Circle can log into the Well Beyond Care system to review and be informed of services provided to the Careseeker.

A Care-Pair is when a Careseeker hires a Caregiver. Care-Pair hours are the hours that a Caregiver works for a Careseeker.

Careseeker is the person receiving care and the one you create an account for. A Careseeker (or recipient) can have up to 10 Family Members or individuals added to their Care Circle, all who can have administrative power to manage the care of the Careseeker.

A Care-Circle includes up to 10 individuals (family and friends) any 1 of these people will be the Care Administrator with the power to manage the care of the Careseeker. The Care Administrator manages adding and removing family and friends from the Care-Circle. At any time the other members of the Care-Circle can log into the Well Beyond Care System to review and be informed of services provided to the Careseeker.

A Nurse Care-Pair Manager (NCPM) is a Registered Nurse who works with Well Beyond Care and has experience within home care, geriatric care and/or hospice care. The minute you set up your account you are assigned a NCPM. 
Your NCPM will:

• Help you create your profile if needed.
• Help you find, hire and manage your Care Givers.
• Connect you with Healthcare Professionals or your own Healthcare Team.
• Provide In-Home Health Care resources to you and your family to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and/or medical care.
• Connect and transition your healthcare, from hospital, home health, hospice, rehabilitation and/or nursing homes, back into the home.

Well Beyond Care was started because Jeffrey Fry (our co-founder) was forced to take care of his mother when his brother died unexpectedly. During those 7 years, he discovered the incredibly poor quality of care, the unfair wages given Caregivers, and the unreliable care given to his mother using private duty agencies. He was convinced there was a better way.

We are passionate about the way health care is delivered currently. We empower both those looking for care and those giving care with the ability to manage care the most effective and efficient way possible.

Home care represents a wide range of private and community-based services to support an aging relative live independently and safely in their own home. Home care is often used when recuperating from an acute situation, such as a hip fracture, or for persons with on-going chronic conditions, such as stroke. The skills and duties of a person performing the duties vary.

Transitional care is the coordination and continuity of health care during movement from one healthcare setting to either another or to home, called care transition, between health care practitioners and settings as your condition and care needs change during the course of a chronic or acute illness. Older adults who suffer from a variety of health conditions often need health care services in different settings to meet their many needs.

Well Beyond Care will automatic assign you a RN - NCPM. That is not the same as hiring a nurse thru our system. Well Beyond Care has nurses listed on our site that can help a family develop a geriatric care plan or by providing care oversight, but you must hire them by clicking on "Types of Caregivers needed." Choose and click on either "Geriatric Care Manager" (care plan and oversight) or "Registered Nurse." A registered nurse may be matched for you if that is your preference. Some prefer a nurse to provide caregiving. You will pay more for an RN but we will make it happen if that is your preference.

Yes! You can specify that you want to be exclusively matched with a veteran. Contact your NCPM for information concerning Aid and Attendance VA application. We want to assist you with the proper contacts and procedures to administrate this properly. If a mistake is made your VA benefits may be delayed.

Yes! Of course we do.

Skilled Home Health is provided by Home Health Agencies as an alternative to hospital stays, frequent MD visits or Nursing Home Placement. Skilled home health services would include wound care, IV's, Post-surgical regimes, training with Meds, Treatments, etc. Skilled Home Health is paid for by Medicare, Insurance Companies and Privately.

Hospice Services are designed to assist a patient and family through the end of life and 13 months following. Hospice with palliative services involves keeping one comfortable, medications, equipment and counseling. Please ask your NCPM about it. Do not miss out on this supportive service if your loved one is approaching their life's end. With hospice care, you can still keep your Caregiver.
