RESPITE CAREGIVER CHECKLIST
Web Site: www.efmoody.com/longterm /respitechecklist.html#r espite%20caregiver%20checklist
Respite care is when someone comes and gives the regular caregiver some "time off" from their duties (and is usually covered in some extent by most home health care policies). But that does not mean that the respite care caregiver has complete knowledge of the patient nor knows the best way of treating them. Here is checklist developed by a ladywho cared for her mother for many years. She suggests that the caregivers be given this form along with backup instructions for Universal Precautions, advanced directives, food preferences or any medical equipment in use. Print out and make your own revisions. But do use it- it can save a lot of time, questions and anxiety
