Medicine records
What would you do if you had an emergency and you had to tell the EMTs what your care recipient last had from their medications? Would you be able to recall the doses and medications off the top of your head or would you have to fumble for what the information was?
I have a print out that shows exactly what my dad gets at which times of the day and how much the dose is. This is good not just in case of emergency, but also if I am not there to get his medications and someone else has to sort through the bottles to find the proper medicine for him.
You could even take things a step further and print out sheets on your computer for each day of the month that lists the pills and when they are taken so that when your care recipient is given a medication it can be marked off the chart for the day.
