Caring for the carer
If like me, you are a caregiver for a loved one—perhaps an elderly parent, a neurodivergent child, a family member with mental illness or someone recovering from an injury—this Google Docs template will help streamline the logistics of appointment, contacts and medication management leaving you more energy to actually care.
It’s easy to use and the best part is it’s cloud-based so you can share it with family, healthcare professionals or other caregivers meaning everyone is kept up to speed in real-time. At a moment’s notice, you can handball the role to someone else when you’re unavailable meaning you don’t have to bear the load alone and may actually be able to take a break from time to time. All you need is a Google account and if you have a Gmail address, you're all set – you already have one.
It can be completely customised to suit your own situation and includes all of the prompts that I have needed over the years when caring for my family members so you won’t forget anything.
