Elderly Parent Care Organiser

Elderly Parent Care Organiser — For the adult children doing the coordinating.

One folder for everything involved in looking after an ageing parent, written for the adult children doing the coordinating — often at a distance, often alongside a job, and often with siblings who see it differently. 23 printable A4 pages cover the one-page summary a carer or an ambulance crew reads in ten seconds, medicines record pages, an appointment log, a who-is-doing-what rota, a care visit log, a 16-point home safety walkthrough, a daily-living needs review, a professional contacts directory, a documents-location page, a money coordination page, a 17-item hospital go-bag, a 16-point discharge checklist, a respite and carer-wellbeing page, and 11 gentle prompts for the conversations most families leave too late. The medicines pages are a record of what has already been prescribed — never guidance. The documents and money pages record where things are and who to contact — never what a document should say. No page has a field for a password, a PIN or a full account number.

What's inside

• PRINTABLE ORGANISER (PDF, A4): 23 pages across 22 sections — print any page as many times as you need it
• The one-page carer summary: name, date of birth, GP surgery, pharmacy, allergies and conditions copied word for word from official sources, key contacts and how to get in
• Medicines RECORD pages — what is prescribed, by whom, when it started and when it is reviewed, copied from the label. No dosing guidance, no interaction guidance, nothing to act on: the pharmacist and the prescriber are the authority
• Appointment log and a questions-for-the-appointment page you hand over at the start rather than remember in the car park
• Who-is-doing-what rota with a backup column, a care visit log, and two pages that name the invisible work — a 16-item list — and tackle the fact that care is almost never split evenly
• 16-point home safety walkthrough: trip hazards, lighting, alarms, and grab rails treated as something to ask an occupational therapist about rather than fit on a guess
• Daily-living needs review across 14 areas of the day, plus a professional contacts directory with 14 pre-labelled rows for the GP, pharmacy, care agency, social worker and solicitor
• Documents-location page listing 12 document types and a money-and-bills coordination page: where things are kept and who to contact, with references shortened to the last four digits — never what a document should say, and never anything that would let somebody move money
• 17-item hospital go-bag, a what-to-hand-over page for admission, and a 16-point coming-home checklist for the point where care most often falls over
• Respite and carer-wellbeing page, because burnout is real and asking early works better than asking in a crisis
• 11 gentle prompts for the conversations worth having early — where they want to live, what matters to them, who they would want involved
• XLSX WORKBOOK: a medication record, an appointments log, a care rota and a shared-expenses sheet that splits costs between siblings and totals what is still outstanding, all live formulas
• 8-point security page: this folder becomes a sensitive document, and there is nowhere in it to write a password, a PIN, a security answer or a full account number
