Toileting record
Track toileting patterns and changes discreetly, so continence issues can be described accurately to a professional.
Using this planning tool
Fill this in together with the person receiving care where possible, and describe what you can observe: how much help standing from a chair takes, what a mealtime actually looks like. Observable descriptions transfer to a caregiver; labels like “high needs” do not.
Complete this tool using details from one real day. Keep observable facts separate from assumptions, name the person responsible for follow-up and review the record before sharing it.
Keep the completed record where authorised family members and caregivers can find the current version. Date every update, remove obsolete instructions and avoid storing identity documents or unrelated medical information with a routine planning sheet.
Use the completed resource during a WhatsApp enquiry conversation. It will not replace an assessment, but it can reduce omissions and help the family explain location, hours, daily-living support and any task that needs a qualified healthcare professional.
Before you fill it in
- How often the record needs updating
- The exact situation the tool is meant to capture
- Any current professional instruction to reflect
- Where the finished record will be kept
- Facts you can observe rather than assume
