Appointment Notetaking
Caregivers can document and take notes about what happens during appointments in addition to providing transportation and mobility assistance getting to and from.
When memory challenges are apparent
it can be useful to have the caregiver present during clinical appointments to take notes. Caregivers document discussions, directions and follow-up appointments which are then available to the client and authorized family for review.
Pro-tip: If medical advocacy is needed to discuss the client’s clinical condition and medical history with the clinician during the appointment then a Nurse or appropriate regulated health professional is required for the role. What Home Nurses can Help with: Medical Health Advocacy
