Prep And Plan With A Checklist

When moving a loved one into your home who needs complete care, setting up their room requires preparation and planning to deal with multiple caregivers, along with a few other items.

Here is a quick checklist:

• Labels on all items, especially medical equipment

• Clipboard (for instructions, log of daily care, etc.)

• Prescription chart of all medications

• A movable cart

• A go-bag and list of all medications packed in case of hospitalization

• A Ring camera or infant monitor 

• Keyless entry with door code and remote locks for the house (for extra caregivers who may need to enter the home so that the family doesn’t have to constantly answer the door.) –Michelle Tupper Butler, caregiver
