Getting your Ducks in a Row has many benefits but it’s not always easy to accomplish when you’re constantly on duty. Knowing what tools to use and how to use them can make things easier.

Mike,
Just watched your webinar this morning as last evening at 7, was Very busy here. I have watched and enjoyed your other webcams. You do a wonderful job!!!! I have never received your guide to ALZ. It very well could have been deleted. Also I cannot find where to download the forms you spoke about. I would like to have them for my husband who has severe ALZ with Parkinsons. The Patient Action plan is something I REALLY need as I am the sole caregiver to him. You do a better job than your GUESTS….Bless you…..
Hi Sandra, I’m really sorry about your situation but I’m happy you are taking action! Thanks for attending our workshops and providing such positive feedback. Just below the video, you will see a link, Patient Care Plans – A Vital Tool for Caregiving, which will take you to the first article in the care plan series. From there you can jump to any one of the three components where you will find links to downloadable forms.
