Care Journals
The Caregiver’s Journal is designed specifically for care teams in the family home for the purpose of making it easier to coordinate care/daily life.
The beginning section of the journal has several pages dedicated to the person being cared for: About Me, 3 Current Photos, Things I Like, Things I Do Not Like, Medications & Treatments, and My Routines.
After that are several pages of contacts: Emergency, Family, Care Team, School, Day Program, and Friends.
The bulk of the 400 page journal is for daily logs. Each monthly calendar is followed by a full-sized page for each day of the year. The large pages allow for a record of medications taken, food eaten, and the worker’s hours. The heart of each page is the large area specifically designed for recording the events of the days and/or special memories.
As a bonus, the top of each day’s page lists up to 3 National or World Days. Many of these recognize various disabilities, while others are included just for fun conversation starters or ideas for activities for the homebound. The most important thing this journal does is record the person’s day to day life. It is not intended to be a medical log, but it can provide helpful insights for the entire care team. It can also become a treasure book for the precious memories of this year.
Who would benefit from this Care Journal?
People caring for loved ones in the home. This could include elderly family members, special needs children & adults, anyone who needs an easy way to log daily care. It was designed to coordinate care among 2 or more caregivers, although it would be great for a single caregiver as well.
Who is this NOT designed for?
Those who need in-home nursing care. It does not have all the log notes needed for someone who is severely disabled. It could be used as a personal supplemental care journal to record memories for the family.
How many Pages is it?
400 pages. 12 monthly calendar pages, 365 daily pages, 7 pages to clarify how to care for the person- and 7 pages of contacts.
Why so many pages about how to care for the person?
This section is to make it easy to clarify what is and is not preferred. It starts with who the person is. Next are 2 pages for photos in case the person wanders and police need identification photos. The rest of the pages are: My Favorite Things, Things I Do NOT LIke, My Medications & Treatments, Things to Take to Appointments, Other Things to Know, My Weekly Routine, My Daily Routine. 7 pages of contacts.
Why does a journal need all these extra pages?
Our family's experience is that it is easiest to have all personal and contact information in one location. For emergencies the photos and personal descriptions are located in the front to make it easy to share with police.
