Agree Practical Day-One Arrangements
Before care starts, confirm household routines, key contacts, medication schedules, and emergency procedures.
Clear arrangements from day one reduce avoidable stress for both the family and care worker.
Share Preferences That Matter Daily
Document communication preferences, meal choices, personal care boundaries, and social habits.
The more specific this guidance is, the easier it becomes to deliver care that feels natural and respectful.
- Preferred wake and sleep times.
- Meal and hydration preferences.
- Privacy choices for personal care tasks.
Set A Weekly Review Rhythm
Build in weekly check-ins during the first month so the plan can be refined quickly.
Short, regular reviews usually prevent larger problems and improve long-term continuity.
