Family caregiving schedule
Divide caregiving hours and tasks across family members so cover is clear and no one is quietly overloaded.
Using this planning tool
Complete this resource with the person receiving care whenever possible. Use plain, observable descriptions—for example, the assistance needed to stand from a chair—rather than labels such as “difficult” or “high needs”.
Treat this resource as a working record for the household. Update it whenever routines, written instructions, contacts or responsibilities change.
Keep the completed record where authorised family members and caregivers can find the current version. Date every update, remove obsolete instructions and avoid storing identity documents or unrelated medical information with a routine planning sheet.
Bring the completed sheet into the WhatsApp enquiry: it lets the family state location, hours, daily-living support and clinical boundaries in one message instead of five, and makes gaps visible before the first shift instead of during it.
Before you fill it in
- Facts you can observe rather than assume
- Where the finished record will be kept
- Which entries should trigger a call for help
- What to keep private and share only when needed
- How often the record needs updating
