This post is the fourth and final post in a series describing the four key types of tools that I recommended to caregivers at a retreat earlier this summer.
Just to recap, the key tools I recommended included a journal/notebook, a portable and up-to-date medication list, an organizer to keep copies of medical results (also known as a “personal health record”), and last but not least, a personal or family task organizer.
In this post, I’ll explain why I believe most caregivers can benefit from using some kind of task organizer in order to keep track of the to-dos related to an older person’s medical care. I’ve also tried some of the task management tools that are available, and will write about a few that caregivers may want to try.
