FAQs
Who would benefit from the Care Planner or Care Journal?
People caring for loved ones in the home. This could include elderly family members, special needs children & adults, anyone who needs an easy way to log daily care. It was designed to coordinate care among 2 or more caregivers, although it would be great for a single caregiver as well.
Who is this NOT designed for?
Those who need in-home nursing care. It does not have all the log notes needed for someone who is severely disabled. It could be used as a personal supplemental care journal to record memories for the family.
How many Pages are they?
Each book is 400 pages. 12 monthly calendar pages, 365 daily pages, 7 pages to clarify how to care for the person, and 7 pages of contacts.
What is the Difference between the Planner and the Journal?
The Planner has larger sections for recording the specifics of the person's diet, medications, and daily schedule
The Journal shrinks the larger sections in the Planner, which frees up more space at the bottom for journaling about each day.
Why so many pages in the front about how to care for the person?
This section is to make it easy to clarify what is and is not preferred. It starts with who the person is. Next are 2 pages for photos in case the person wanders and police need identification photos. The rest of the pages are: My Favorite Things, Things I Do NOT LIke, My Medications & Treatments, Things to Take to Appointments, Other Things to Know, My Weekly Routine, My Daily Routine. 7 pages of contacts.
Why does a journal need all these extra pages?
Our family's experience is that it is easiest to have all personal and contact information in one location. For emergencies the photos and personal descriptions are located in the front to make it easy to share with police.
Where can I order?
Both versions are available on Amazon. You should be able to click on the cover and go straight there. If the embedded links don't work, search by the by the author Denise Harris.
I like these, but they are a little pricey. Are there cheaper versions available?
Yes. Search Amazon for Denise Harris and choose the black & white version of the book you want. Color printing costs more, so I made it available in black & white for those with tight budgets.
Alternatively, you can buy a PDF file to print for yourself at emblace.etsy.com. I would recommend dual sided printing and and a large 3-ring binder as both books are 400 pages long.
