Care Page Review

I learned about www.carepages.com when a friend got very sick. Her daughter started posting my friend's health, updates, surgery updates, etc. on this website. Readers can leave comments, offer prayers, hope and love. I get updates when either my friend or her daughter update the CarePage.

What is Care Page

A CarePages website is a customized, personal web page designed to help provide communication between family and friends during a health event. This can be something great like pregnancy and delivery or something bad like cancer or anything in between.

The CarePages website is created and updated by the patient or loved one of the patient, and it is used to build a support community around the patient. The CarePages website displays updates on the patient's condition, photos can be posted. In this case my friend's daughter posted one picture. 

You'll find discussion forums such as "Loss of a child" which I just read. You'll find a gift shop where you can find something to send to the ill person. 

There is an inspirational library, resources, tips, articles, and stories. You can create a website for yourself or someone else. The CarePage website is free. There does have to be someone who is monitoring the website such as my friend's daughter so we can have updates.

CarePages does not monitor members' pages. You will have to register as a visitor to a CarePage. This is when the website manager can approve visitors or not. This is for first time visitors. I only have to log in to visit my friend's site.

The CarePages website stays active for as long as needed or wanted.

In order to create a CarePage website account you must be at least 14 years old.

For me and a group of friends all of whom live around the country this has been a terrific way to find our how our friend is doing, send her gifts, love, hugs, and prayers.
