Springwell offers a free Caregiver’s Notebook. You can print the notebook or download it onto your computer and type directly from there. If you have Microsoft Word, you may not have thought of using their templates. Under the journal template search, you can find a wellness tracker, a creative journal, mental health, or just a writing journal.

Dear Caregiver, Welcome to the Springwell Caregiver’s Notebook! The goal of this Notebook is to have a central place for you to record and document the important aspects of your loved one’s care. This includes: Critical At A Glance Information A Calendar for Schedule Tracking Care Providers Daily Routine and Care information

Springwell’s (a non profit group) has put together 36 template pages to choose from. Don’t feel like you need to use every page or even feel like you need all the information on each page BUT it’s a good start. As you develop your Caregiver Notebook … keep the pages in a standard 3 ring binder dedicated to your caregiving notebook.

A caregiver journal template can help organize your thoughts and tasks. You may very well prefer something very basic like a notebook or a leather-bound journal. Many templates are available online to download and print, and you can mix and match to find what works best for you.
