Helping Caretakers Stay In Control
Hi, I’m Jen – a family caregiver with a determination to make it easier for the average person to help manage the care of all of your loved ones. I know how hard it can be to manage the care of your children, parents and pets--particularly when health issues arise. At Caretakers' Helper, you’ll find printable forms designed to simplify care coordination, doctor visits, and medication treatment. Each form is made to be clear, practical, and easy to use—whether you’re advocating for a loved one or managing your own health.
I started designing these forms when I was faced with supporting members of my family who were navigating complex health needs. I experienced firsthand how overwhelming the process could be and wanted to create resources that would ease the burden and bring a sense of control and clarity to caregiving.
Like most people, I’m not a trained healthcare professional, so I created forms that would provide the information the medical professionals need in a way that also makes sense to the layperson. These are forms that I’ve created (and revised, and revised, and revised…) to work in real-life caregiving situations, helping caregivers feel like they have some control in challenging situations.
As I created the patient-focused forms, I realized that I could use some help in organizing my children's care and health information, as well as that of my senior dog. These forms are on their way, and I hope they are as helpful for busy families as they have been for me!
