What is inside

Two full 8.5 x 11 inch pages for every day, 60 consecutive days, laid out as facing pages so the whole day is one open spread.

Left page: what went in

  • A Morning, Midday and Evening vitals matrix for blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen and blood glucose, plus weight, a 0-to-10 pain scale and an alertness check
  • A medication log by number, with space for a short name and a Given, Refused, Held or Missed status circle, so you jot the number instead of rewriting the drug name every day
  • Two PRN (as-needed) rows with a wide reason-and-result cell, for comfort medication and rescheduled doses
  • Meals and appetite for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, with how much was actually eaten
  • A fluid-intake strip to shade, one box per 8 oz cup, with a running daily total

Right page: what came out, and how the day went

  • A bathroom and incontinence tracker: eight timed rows with a pre-printed Urine or BM circle, an accident column and a changed-product column
  • A one-tap mood check in the header: Great, Good, Down, Anxious/Agitated, or In pain
  • Sleep: bedtime, waking time, total hours, night wakings, naps and quality
  • A personal care and activity matrix: bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, walking and exercise, each marked Self, With help, By caregiver, or Not done, with a time
  • Symptoms and concerns, and a shaded Shift Handoff box: handed-over-by, received-by, time, pending tasks, and free lines

At the back

  • Two full Doctor Visit Summary spreads (4 pages): medication changes since the last visit, a vitals trend grid, your top concerns in order, and space for what the doctor said
  • A care recipient profile: allergies and reactions, diagnoses, blood type, insurance and pharmacy
  • An emergency contacts and care team roster: physician, specialists, home-care agency and phone, home nurse
  • A 14-slot numbered medication master list, with start and stop dates
  • A page for your doctor to set personal blood pressure, pulse, oxygen and glucose targets for this specific person
  • A running supplies and equipment checklist
  • A completely filled-in example day, so anyone stepping in knows exactly what to write

Made for real handwriting

8.5 x 11 inch pages, black-and-white interior, wide-ruled lines, high-contrast headings, and wide margins.
