Personal Care Binder
Developed
by caregivers for caregivers, the 28-page Personal Care Binder
helps caregivers — both professional and family — keep track
of all those critical details needed when co-ordinating care
for an a loved one or client at home. The binder helps you
stay organized, keeping much-needed personal and medical information
available for quick access. It helps centralize communication
among all the caregivers by providing a place for the care
team to leave important messages for each other. A new section
has been added for those involved in dementia care.
