Caregiver Coordination Toolkit — PDFs + Editable Care Schedules

What This Is

A practical coordination system for caregivers managing people, logistics, and support — often while exhausted.

This toolkit replaces constant questions, duplicated help, and invisible labor with clear lanes, visible boundaries, and shared responsibility — using both printable PDFs and editable Excel templates that work together.

No cheerleading.
No toxic positivity.
Just structure that works.

What’s Included

PDF Tools (Print or Phone-Friendly)

1. Care Team Roles Sheet
Assigns clear lanes so help doesn’t overlap, disappear, or funnel to one person.

2. Who to Contact for What
Routes questions, updates, and logistics away from the patient and primary caregiver.

3. Meal Train Preferences PDF
Prevents unusable food, surprise visits, and thank-you pressure.

4. Help Request Menu (Caregiver-Facing)
Pre-written, time-bound asks so caregivers don’t have to invent needs on the spot.

5. Rotating Help Schedule Template
Weekly role rotation with burnout-prevention notes and built-in handoff language.

Editable Excel Templates (Coordination Made Easy)

6. Care Contact List (Excel)
Matches the Who to Contact for What PDF.
Use this to keep names, roles, contact methods, and notes in one editable place — easy to update, share, or print.

7. Weekly Support Roles Schedule (Excel)
Pairs with the Rotating Help Schedule.
Assign weekly roles, rotate support, and prevent one person from doing everything.

(Excel files are optional tools — the system works with PDFs alone, but spreadsheets make coordination smoother for larger care teams.)

Who This Is For

• Caregivers coordinating illness, treatment, burnout, disability, or crisis
• Partners, adult children, friends, or family acting as the point person

• Anyone who needs help without becoming the manager of everyone

Why This Works

• Stops everything from funneling to one person
• Makes help visible and assignable

This is the foundation layer of Caregiver Gold.
Everything else works better once this is in place.

Caregiver Gold Note

You don’t need to manage people and manage care.
This toolkit does the routing so you can conserve energy.
