Unlocking the power of connection

A CareMap is a simple, visual diagram of the people involved in providing care to a caregiver and care recipient. It includes family, friends and health care professionals who may provide assistance or support, however big or small. A CareMap allows a person to visualize and easily understand the many different connections between the people involved in caring for someone.

The Atlas CareMap toolkit is a part of the Care Connections Program.

The Atlas CareMap Toolkit includes six resources for caregivers, and anyone who wants to support a caregiver. This toolkit contains information on what a Care Map is, why it is important, how it can support you in your caregiving journey, how to create one and finally, how to share it with friends, family and health care professionals.

Resources included in this toolkit:

  • How to create an Atlas CareMap.
  • Atlas CareMap building questions.
  • Atlas CareMap definitions.
  • Community resources for caregivers.
  • Sharing your Atlas CareMap with family and friends.
  • Sharing your Atlas CareMap with health care professionals.
