Free to start: the organiser and one full nurse checklist.

Family care organiser

The only family care organiser that starts from a nurse’s checklist, not an empty board.

For the working son or daughter who lives in a different city or state from an aging parent.

Checklist written by a registered nurse

Everyone in the family sees the same list.

Sample: an example of what the organiser holds, not a real family’s list.

How it starts

  1. A woman at a kitchen table holding a phone and looking out of the window

    Step 1

    Say what is happening

    Pick the situation your parent is in, such as coming home from the hospital. The organiser opens on that situation.

  2. A smiling nurse in navy scrubs writing on a clipboard at a ward desk

    Step 2

    Start from the nurse’s list

    A registered nurse wrote the checklist for that situation. It is already on your board when you arrive.

  3. A couple on a sofa smiling at a tablet that shows an older woman waving

    Step 3

    Share it with the family

    Everyone sees the same organiser, so each person can see who is doing what.

What the nurse’s list puts on the board

Written by a registered nurse

An empty board asks a family to already know what to do. This one arrives with the list, written by a registered nurse for the situation your family is in.
