Caregiver support for frailty in Kangar

Start with the person's present abilities and preferences. Note what they do independently, where cueing helps and which activities require physical assistance. The same diagnosis can lead to very different daily routines, so the care request should describe the individual rather than relying on the condition name.

Ask the treating team to put the specifics on paper before care starts: how to move the person safely, what food consistency is right, how much activity is wanted, and which changes justify a call. A caregiver follows that sheet; the professionals 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.
