Templates for Caregivers.

A curated set of 14 spreadsheets — and the guides that go with them — for the work of looking after someone. Log vitals and blood pressure between appointments, keep medical costs in one place at tax time, and build a home inventory before you ever have to file a claim.

Everything that matters, in one place, before you need it

Caregiving runs on details other people never see — the reading from Tuesday, the receipt for the specialist, the model number on the appliance the insurer will ask about. These templates are built to hold those details so they're ready when a doctor, an accountant or an adjuster asks. They organize and record; they don't diagnose, and they're not a substitute for professional medical or legal advice.

And when the hard part is the choice itself — in-home care, assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility — the Elder-Care Decision Helper scores the care, not the lobby, in a workbook you own outright rather than a sales-driven referral service. Try the free elder-care web scorer first.

Caregiving isn't only for aging parents. If you're raising a child with an IEP or a 504 plan, the Special-Needs / IEP Records & Care Binder organizes the accommodations, evaluations, therapy schedule, providers, and meeting notes in a file you own — the records your family keeps and carries to every meeting. Learn what an IEP is, or prep with the free IEP Meeting Prep Sheet.

Pair them with the field guides below — preparing for an aging parent's check-in, why a home inventory matters, and the real cost of a year of doctor visits.
