Shared care notes for families looking after an aging parent

Your parent should not have to start over with every new worker.

Keep what you have learned about your mother or father in one place: how mornings go, what settles them, the words that still work. Every PSW, every sibling and every agency starts the day already knowing.

Why it keeps resetting

Their care is a rota, and the rota keeps changing

Nothing here is new to you. The problem is that the knowing lives in people, and the people rotate.

A new PSW every few weeks

Agencies change staff, cover sick days and rotate weekends. Each new person learns your parent from scratch, and most of what they learn leaves with them.

They can explain a little less each month

With dementia the person who could tell you what they need is the one losing the ability to. What they can no longer say has to be written down by the people who already know.

You are the only full record

It works until you are unwell, away, or trying to pass eleven years of understanding to somebody new in ten minutes at the door.

What goes in

The things nobody writes down

Not a medical record. The practical knowing that makes a day go well or badly.

How mornings goThe order they prefer, how long it takes, what makes them dig in and what gets past it.
What settles themThe chair, the radio station, the photo album, the words that bring them back when they are agitated.
What sets them offBeing rushed, the wrong cup, a stranger standing behind them. Written once so nobody learns it the hard way.
The day itselfA tap to log what happened, so the next person and the family both see the same day rather than a phone call.

Your circle, your rules

You decide who sees what

The profile belongs to your family, not to an agency or a home.

Invite who you choose

Siblings, a private caregiver, the agency worker, a therapist. One at a time, by you.

Keep some of it in the family

Notes can be shared with your family only, so what you write for each other does not reach the care team unless you send it.

Change it whenever

Access can be removed at any point, and if you change agency or move them, the profile goes with you.

Start with what you already know

Build the profile once with the people already around them, and stop explaining your parent from the beginning every time somebody new walks in.
