Caregiver Tips for Managing Doctor’s Appointments

As a caregiver, working with doctors and other medical professionals is a critical part of caring for your loved one. Knowing what to expect, what information sources are available and how they can maintain their own well-being are all key elements of caregiving.

Here are a few tips for caregivers who take their loved ones to see their doctors:

• Make a list. Take a list of questions that you and your loved one have.
• Bring a list of medications. Ensure your list includes all medications, supplements, and any other over-the-counter medications.
• Take notes. Write down any information and resources provided to you.
