Care Caribbean Caregiver Planner: Calm Care Plan and Home Support System

Caring for someone at home means holding a lot in your head. Medicines, routines, what calms them, who to call. This planner helps you put it all in one place, so you are not carrying it alone.

It works whether you are caring for a parent living with dementia, someone recovering from a stroke, or a loved one who simply needs more help as they get older.

You do not have to fill in everything today. Start with the one-page Quick Care Plan. Add the rest when you have time. This planner is here to make care feel more organised, not more stressful.

Created by Debra Callender, physiotherapist and Certified Dementia Practitioner, founder of Care Caribbean. Made for families in Jamaica, across the Caribbean and in the diaspora.
