Getting Organized: How to Prepare for Living Assistance Services

You can make providing living assistance services to your senior loved one simpler by staying organized in order to prepare for unexpected events

Keeping many things as you can under control helps when you are managing the elderly care of your loved one, since unplanned situations can easily happen. Whether you are a sole caregiver or you work with a home care agency such as Visiting Angels of Boulder County, CO, you need to be organized as much as you can.

When sharing the responsibilities of living assistance services for your loved one you need to have lists, make schedules, create files, and think of an emergency plan so that the flow of communication between you and other caregivers stays open.

If you want to keep the senior care of your loved one organized, here are some things you can do.

Make Lists

Gather all the medical, household, social, legal as well as financial information together and put it in one place. In addition, all the important phone numbers, addresses, and names should be in one spot for accessibility.

Make Copies of all Medical Papers and Bills

When it comes to living assistance services, your loved one's medical information is vital. Therefore, make sure you make copies of all their medical bills and papers so that things like duplicating tests and refills can be avoided. If you are working with a home care agency, ensure you have the name, telephone number, address and specialty of every caregiver who assists your loved one.

Keep a Master Schedule

When you have a lot of things on your mind, it is easy to forget something. Therefore, you should make a schedule that will help you remember when it is time to reorder medications or take your loved one to the doctor's appointment.

Keep a File System

No one likes paperwork, but it can easily pile up so you should make a file for all the important documents, such as medical bills, legal papers, resources, and financial papers.

Keep a Call Log

Whenever you talk to individuals about your loved one's home care you should write it down. This call log should contain the name of the person you talked to, date and some information what the call was about. This will be useful in case care is delayed. Also, don';t forget to come up with an emergency plan. By being organized you will allow other caregivers to easily lend you a hand with living assistance services whenever needed.
