Common questions

Why keep a daily care log?

It helps you notice changes and gives everyone the same information. Small things, like eating less or sleeping more, are easy to miss day to day but stand out when they are written down. It also gives the doctor specifics to work with.

What should a caregiver daily log include?

Every care situation is a little different, but some common things to track include medications given, meals and fluids, personal care, sleep, mood, and anything that changed. Many caregivers also note falls and near falls, even when the person seems fine afterward.

How detailed does it need to be?

Not very. A few words written at the time is better than a full account from memory at night. "Ate half of lunch" or "more tired than usual after 3 pm" is enough.

What is the best way to write a note?

It is easy to think you will remember the details later. Even a short note can jog your memory and make patterns easier to see. Write down what you noticed and when, especially behaviors and anything that changed. "Refused breakfast at 9" tells the next person more than "bad morning."

What if I run out of room?

There are extra pages for medications, vitals, pain, memory and behavior, and notes. Print the ones you need and keep them with the daily log.

What if more than one person helps with care?

Keep one log in one place at home, and have each person write their name under "Logged by." The Concerns and notes section is a good spot to leave word for whoever comes next.

Can you make a different version?

Tell us what you need. If large print, a weekly layout, another language, or an extra section would help, email hello@carespondence.com. We use these requests to decide what to make next.
