Senior Care Daily Care Notes

A healthy daily routine assists seniors (and the rest of us) to enjoy a healthy lifestyle with physical and mental exercise and socialization.  But how do you keep everything on track when there is so much to do as a caregiver?  Each day often brings surprises for a caregiver and it can be a challenge to keep the care routine on track

Maintaining a daily log to document the care provided is one way to make sure medications are taken properly and activities are included in the senior's daily care routine.

Caregiverlist provides a daily care log which you may print out and use as a guide for tracking care services for a family member or a client.

Doctors and Geriatric Care Managers who are supervising care appreciate having documentation of the senior's daily routine.  This information can assist with managing side effects to medications, determining depression and monitoring diet.

Somewhat related to this, is an idea I got from a friend of mine. Her mother is 98 and still living in her own home, alone. She does not have good recall of things that happen in the present. Some of her children go by to see her daily and whenever they go, they write on the calendar that they have been there and what they did. That way when the next one comes they know what has been done.
