What's inside
- Pocket script cards
- What to say for accusations, "I want to go home," questions about a parent who died, and refusing care. Cut out, keep in your wallet.
- Behavior and sundowning log
- Two weeks of time, trigger, what happened and what helped, so patterns show up and the doctor sees facts, not impressions.
- Doctor visit prep sheet
- Changes since the last visit, questions to ask, and a place for the answers, on one page you hand over at check-in.
- Medication and contacts sheet
- Every medicine, dose, prescriber and pharmacy, plus who to call, for the fridge and the go-bag.
- "All about Mom" sheet
- Routines, likes, fears and what calms her, for aides, respite workers and hospital staff.
- Family meeting agenda and task split
- A one-hour agenda and a who-does-what grid, so the work stops landing on one person by default.
- Money and paperwork map
- Accounts, benefits, insurance, documents and where they live, with the questions to bring to an elder-law attorney.
- Home safety walk-through
- Room-by-room checklist for falls, wandering, the stove, the car and medications.
- Memory care tour checklist
- What to ask, what to watch for and what to smell, with a side-by-side comparison for up to three places.
- First 30 days plan
- Visiting rhythm, what to bring, what to tell staff, and how to answer the go-home calls.
- Caregiver check-in
- A monthly two-minute check on your own sleep, health and limits, with the numbers to call when the answers are bad.
Who it's for
The person holding everything together: the appointments, the pills, the 2 a.m. phone calls. The sheets are built to be handed off, so a sibling, an aide or a respite worker can step in without a 40-minute phone call first.
Questions
Is this the same as the book?
No. The book explains what's happening and what to do about it. The toolkit is the paperwork: fill-in sheets, checklists and pocket cards. They work well together, and each stands on its own.
