I'm a CAREGIVER. I have a copy of my mom's meds and allergies on my phone. I also keep a google drive file that has tabs with all her doctors and the details of each visit. Date, Details, Actions to be taken, next appointment.

My mother still handles her own medication but my sister helps her refill for two weeks
I’m happy to share a mock up of my excel sheet! And our names are spelled the same way! love it! I also teaching journaling and part of it is organizing a notebook to write notes about appointments, feelings, boundaries, pausing to take a deep breath and having an index to keep it straight!
Janine, if you do a post you could do a downloadable format via Dropbox. I can cross-post or just link to your post so that other Carer Mentor community members can use it too? Let me know your preference and how you'd like to do things.
I'll write the post and will either send a link to a downloadable google excel form or can do Dropbox, which I don't use but let me know your thoughts!
You do whatever is easiest for you. ;-) Just let me know when you've published so I can link to the post - If you could possibly mention Carer Mentor and our community, I'd appreciate it.❤️
Ohhhh you're so badass you have an action file! I have a calendar and update the medical history excel each visit! Yep I've a contact list too.
Ohhh others can get ideas on what to track via this Q&A now - how cool!
I think you, me & Helena are demonstrating how caregivers prime, prepare and are excellent project managers - because we HAVE to be ready 'just in case'.
Thanks for sharing, Janine! Much appreciated. If you write an article/share the file on your publication let me know! ;-)
Love all the sharing of ideas! There's so much going on, it's very difficult to remember the details. I also print a copy of the doctor visits and put them in a binder so my mom can reread everything.
I think project manager can be placed on our resumés!
Yes!! Thanks, Janine. Yep we have a blue-lever-arch folder with a clear pocket for 'New appointment' letters and then reported consultations...
Unfortunately for Dad, there were hit and miss, random letters or not, and no 'appointments' as such because in palliative/end of life we were dealing with emergencies almost weekly ...not monitoring, treating and planned interventions.

There's a Fire in my belly from everything I experienced, we need to help each other prepare, enable, empower, inspire..not just mindfully but VERY practically too! Thank you for your contributions and support. Together we'll support each other, and others ;-)
Great questions.

Can I hire you to do my Ken's? From one Janine to the other?

You’ve inspired me to do a post on that!
