Medication-reminder chart
Lay out what to give and when as reminders only, keeping medication decisions with the doctor or pharmacist.
Using this planning tool
Fill this in together with the person receiving care where possible, and describe what you can observe: how much help standing from a chair takes, what a mealtime actually looks like. Observable descriptions transfer to a caregiver; labels like “high needs” do not.
Use this worksheet at the point of care or handover, then add the next action and the person who owns it. Store or share only the minimum information needed for that purpose.
Store the current version where authorised family members and the caregiver can reach it, date every revision, and clear out superseded instructions. Keep identity documents and unrelated medical records elsewhere — a planning sheet circulates too widely for them.
Use the completed resource during a WhatsApp enquiry conversation. It will not replace an assessment, but it can reduce omissions and help the family explain location, hours, daily-living support and any task that needs a qualified healthcare professional.
Before you fill it in
- What to keep private and share only when needed
- Which entries should trigger a call for help
- Where the finished record will be kept
- Facts you can observe rather than assume
- The exact situation the tool is meant to capture
