What the notebook contains

Six uses, one fact sheet for each

  • 01

    Your week as a caregiver

    Who does what, on what day, for what purpose: the week is planned on a sheet instead of being decided in a hurry.

  • 02

    Identified relays

    Family, neighbors, friends, professionals: each with what they can take care of, to ask for help without having to think about it every time.

  • 03

    Home logistics

    Meals, journeys, shopping, home: dedicated sheets to organize your loved one's daily life without having to keep everything in mind.

  • 04

    Monitoring the procedures

    Applications in progress, organizations contacted, responses received and next steps: the administrative thread remains legible.

  • 05

    A sheet for you

    Taking care of yourself is part of the caregiver role: your own appointments, your limits and your rest times have their own dedicated page.

  • 06

    Complete directory

    General practitioner, nurses, pharmacy, organizations, with the 3646 of the Health Insurance already filled in and the emergency banner 15 and 112.

The professionals decide, the notebook organizes.
