Everyone helping,
on the same page
When brothers, sisters and paid helpers share a parent's care, things get missed. Keep one binder with who does what, what happened today, and what to ask at the next appointment.
How families use it
Agree who does what

Hand off in writing
A short handoff sheet after each visit, so the next person knows what happened.
