Long-Distance Care Contact Sheet
When you care for a parent from another city, the worst moment is the one where you need a name and a number and you are scrolling old texts to find them. This free printable contact sheet puts them in one place: the point person the whole family calls first, the neighbor or aide who can be at the house today, who has a key, and every provider's direct line. Fill it in, print it, and send a photo of it to everyone who helps.

What it does
- Puts the point person, the backup, and the nearest person to the house in one place anyone in the family can grab.
- Records who has a key and which hospital your parent would want — the two things nobody can look up in an emergency.
- Lists the local helpers and the providers with direct numbers and after-hours details, so a question at 2 a.m. doesn't start with a search.
- Records who the healthcare decision-maker is and where that document is kept — never logins, PINs, account numbers, or a Social Security number, so it stays safe to share.
- Comes as a printable PDF and a spreadsheet that opens on a filled-in worked example you can type straight over.
Own it, don't rent it
Want to know how your parent actually is, not just who to call?
A contact sheet tells you who to call. It can't tell you how long it has been since anyone actually laid eyes on your parent, which of the last eight weeks were calls only, which of fifteen areas of care nobody owns, or which sibling is quietly carrying the most. The full binder computes all of that from one shared check-in log — an 11-tab workbook (Excel, Google Sheets & LibreOffice) plus 32 pages of guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and own — the coordination system between a phone list on the fridge and a subscription caregiving app holding your parent's information on someone else's server.
A record-keeping sheet for a family, not medical, legal, or financial advice, and not a substitute for your parent's doctors, an attorney, or a licensed care manager. The example family is fictional. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
