Comment organiser l'aide à domicile d'une personne âgée ?

Commencez par lister les besoins, les intervenants, les passages récurrents et les contacts d'urgence. Ensuite, utilisez un agenda partagé et un carnet de liaison pour éviter les informations dispersées.

Quelle différence entre auxiliaire de vie et aide familiale ?

L'auxiliaire de vie est un professionnel de l'aide à domicile. L'aide familiale est apportée par un proche. Les deux rôles peuvent se compléter autour de la personne âgée.

Tribulys fournit-il des auxiliaires de vie ?

Non. Tribulys est un outil de coordination pour la famille et les intervenants déjà impliqués. Il ne remplace pas un service d'aide à domicile.

Home help for elderly people: the complete guide

Home care aide, nurse, physiotherapist, family: organising home help for an elderly person well starts with coordinating everyone involved. Tribulys doesn't replace a home care service: it helps the family coordinate the people involved, their visits, and the information.

Who's involved at home?

Around an elderly person, several people can be involved: home care aides, self-employed nurses, physiotherapists, the family doctor, meal delivery services, family, and trusted neighbours.

Without coordination, each person only has part of the picture. The risk is missing an important change or repeating a task that's already been done.

Organising visits and handovers

A shared schedule shows who's coming and when. The care journal records what happened. Tasks show what needs to be done. Together, these three elements form the basis of reliable coordination.

This lets the family keep track of the situation without calling every professional after every visit.

Recurring visits and one-off appointments.
Observations after every visit.
Tasks assigned to family or to professionals.
Medications and useful documents in one place.

Why the tool needs to stay simple

Home care coordination only works if everyone can take part. The tool therefore needs to be clear on mobile, quick to fill in, and limited to the information that actually matters.

Tribulys was designed for exactly this context: a circle, roles, handovers, and a shared view of day-to-day life.

Putting this into practice with Tribulys

Once home help is in place, Tribulys connects the home aide, the family and the other professionals: dated handovers, a shared calendar and medication tracking, in a private space hosted in France.
