How to create a Plan of Care
Caregiving is a noble, compassionate role — but it can also be emotionally and physically draining. Our program gives you the tools, knowledge, and strategies to understand, prevent, and cope with caregiver burnout, so you don't neglect yourself while caring for someone else.
Information about the product and our services
SHS&S provides a non-medical, 4-week online training program. As a professional caregiver who understands caregivers' needs, I deliberately designed the program to give the average caregiver — unable to receive help through professional agencies — some of the must-have tools used daily to care for 3+ clients in a residential home. Our services are non-traditional. Yet they are not designed to duplicate or replace the services of professional agencies.
We are not a home healthcare agency that provides hands-on or bedside services. Our 4-week training program and courses are online. The program was specifically designed for busy caregivers with limited time who are overwhelmed and suffering from burnout, working non-stop without support. The training is downloadable material in PDF format with accompanying videos, easily accessible to work around the busy lives of these caregivers.
Mission
The Manual — The caregiver who's overwhelmed and suffering from burnout is like a vehicle with its check-engine light on, low on gas and oil. Just like these major mechanical issues must be addressed before that vehicle can be expected to transport, that caregiver must have immediate support, tools, and resources in order to be expected to perform their responsibilities to the patient.
The SHS&S Manual — Functions much like the diagnostic tool a mechanic uses to scan and identify the trigger, and a manual to diagnose the problem and provide the right tools to repair the car and get the vehicle operating properly.
And if we, the driver, have a road trip planned, none of us would chance taking that trip while the vehicle still has major mechanical repairs that could leave the driver and passenger stranded.
This analogy explains why, at SHS&S, out of respect for the caregiver who's already overwhelmed and suffering from burnout, as an organization — though we collaborate with and welcome people and organizations from many backgrounds, with a variety of social values and circumstances — we have chosen not to engage or involve ourselves in any of these, to focus on our one purpose for the manual: supporting and stabilizing the caregiver so they can concentrate on the SHS&S 4–6 week caregiver training and stabilization program.
Just like a mechanic who has successfully completed all repairs on the vehicle is now prepared to take that road trip, once the caregiver has successfully completed the steps outlined in our SHS&S Manual and can better take care of their own needs and the patient, they are actually better prepared to decide for themselves what issues, organizations, causes, or services they want to become involved with.

Online training courses
We help you build a Personalized Plan of Care — what we call a Holistic Support Plan (HSP) — designed to meet the needs of both the care recipient and you, the caregiver. It includes a medical profile, daily-care instructions, and a plan for bringing in consistent additional caregivers.
Part 3
Caregiver coaching
An ongoing monthly coaching and mentoring service, with additional tools, training, and small-group mentorship so caregivers can support one another over time — not just during the initial 4–6 weeks.

MAR Documentation & Organization
SHS&S provides caregivers with basic instruction and demonstrations on how to organize and document information on a MAR — Medication Administration Record — template as part of the caregiver's Plan of Care. The training material is online and downloadable with accompanying videos. It is designed to help organize, document, and manage existing medication, instructions, and orders received by their physician.
At SHS&S, our role is strictly caregiver education, organization, documentation, and support. Medication prescribing, clinical decisions, changes to medication instructions, and medication administration remain outside the scope of SHS&S.

Why the cost works
About a quarter of one month's agency care
The median hourly rate for professional caregiving in the U.S. is roughly $31–$35, according to seniorliving.org. Our one-time program cost is designed to come in at about a quarter of the monthly cost of hiring that kind of ongoing support — because caregivers suffering from burnout often can't afford agency help at all.
