[quote=Anonymous]My siblings and I helped with my mom for several months. Here is how you do the medical part - - Have tables set up with trays to have the supplies and equipment in place. Group according to activity. - Color code the medication based on when to give the medication. (Blue for night, Yellow for day) - Print out medicines and schedules in big bold letters and paste it on two walls. - Have a log book in which you jot down oxygen level, BP, temp - twice a day. List any other symptoms that the patient talks about or you can observe. - Log the medications after it has been given. Make your patient also be aware that medication has been given and make them repeat the name of the medication. - Have the address and phone number of doctors and phamacists ready. - Keep an eye on the medical supplies and get the refills filled sooner rather than later. - We created a whatsapp group of family members and we exchanged information about the patient there.
