The Family Care Binder
When someone you love ends up in the hospital, you get asked the same questions fast: medications, allergies, who to call. Fill this in once, now, and hand it over instead of scrambling for papers. Free, made by RightKind Care™, and we will not spam you.
One sheet the hospital team can read in seconds
Page 2 is the emergency sheet. The top box holds the six things staff ask for first, so you are not trying to remember them under stress.
Choose what is happening now, then fill in only those pages
17 pages. Print it, or type into the fillable copy on your computer or tablet.
- Emergency and triage (page 2). A one-page hospital information sheet: allergies, medicines, who to call. It is also the sheet to hand to a paramedic or triage nurse.
- While in hospital (page 6). A place to write what the team said and what changed, plus papers to ask for before you leave.
- Before discharge (pages 7 to 9). Questions to ask the doctor, the hospital therapists and the discharge planner.
- First week at home (pages 10 and 11). Which visits are booked, who arranges them, and what to expect from public home care.
- Everyday care (pages 3 to 5 and 12 to 16). About Me, medication list, care team, daily log, important documents, questions for a home care agency and a room-by-room home safety check.
General information only. The binder does not replace advice from the doctor or health team, who lead all medical care. Fill in your own copy privately and do not post it online. Share only the blank binder.
