Request a Caregiver Binder

This binder was designed by a team of Henry Ford Health System care giving experts to assist caregivers and patients. Keep documents in one location:

• Medical records
• Medication information
• Medical history
• Lab results
• Appointments
• Your questions
• Notes from the doctor
• Information, business cards and handouts

Take it, Share it, Use it:

• Take it with you to doctor’s appointments.
• Share it with other caregivers and your loved one.
• Use it to make care giving easier and more effective.

Suggestions from other Caregivers:

• Move pages and sections to fit your needs.
• Use the pocket by the Medications section for medication information you receive from the pharmacy.
• Use the calendar to keep track of when to order medications and medical supplies.
• Use the business card holder (the plastic sleeve with business-card size slots) to hold business cards. Write notes on the fronts/backs of the business cards.
• Buy a small blank notebook and keep a daily journal of important events, milestones, and issues you and the patient encounter. Keep it with the binder or slide it into a pocket.'
• Use Section 8 to customize the binder for your needs.
