What to plan

Planning day-to-day support

Describe capability, not category. "Walks to the bathroom holding the wall, needs a hand on the way back" is something a caregiver can plan around; a phrase like "limited mobility" gives them nothing to work with. Build the whole request from that kind of observed, specific detail.

Ask the treating team for the specifics on paper before care starts: the safe transfer method, the food texture, the fluid target, the exercise scope and the signs that justify a call. A caregiver carries out that sheet, while the people who wrote it stay responsible for changing it.

Agree what gets written down each day and what triggers a phone call, before the first shift rather than after the first scare. Appetite, sleep, alertness and steadiness are the four worth tracking daily, because they usually shift before anything dramatic shows. Anything sudden means 999 first.
