Find Care & Housing
Depending on the purpose of the report requirements may be different. Normally general health while documenting recent decline would be a good place to start. Any activities and reactions to them should also be included.

A care report.????? What Doctor or agency requires this of you ?
And since care indicates to me " the care given to a patient " it most likely means
that you simply write down,
A.]... what the caretaker does for the patient... noting else. Start with a.m. to p.m. care activities only, as in all things assisting the patient..... then , separately ,
B.}... State the financial support provided, WITHOUT DOLLAR AMOUNTS ...i.e.- you provide all patient food and medications, transportation, clothing....etc C.]... Then describe timing and details , provided thru assistance provided “ BY OTHERS ” [support personnel ], (without stating their names, addresses and such details), unless you have their permission.
I would also not include details of the patient’s health information.
That does not fall under the definition of the word “Care”... in my opinion....
Also, if this is an agency of some sort, they should provide a FORM with appropriate questions to be answered, rather than requiring you to be the free-style author of a daily life story......
Care given a patient is always charted on a form in hour increments...on easy overview forms...
Freehand text style is short and confined to incidences....or progress-notes.... related to health condition.
The word Care relates only to effort provided, not the condition that results from that care...
I wish you well !!!

I think you are looking on how to create one on this site, for communication to loved ones, etc. I would like to know how also - I cannot find it anywhere on this site.

5/5/2015........ I could not find anything in AgingCare either... so I searched Google with these words: ... “home care of elderly charting format. “ ...This Question brought up as usual the 1st 3 ads for home care providers, as the 1st 3 listings on a google page are always advertising...
But Item No. 4 brought up this: "graceworksathome" it is also an ad but was worth a look:
When that site opens ...CLICK the Tab named RESOURCES , scroll down a bit to: SPECIFICALLY , WE ASSESS THE FOLLOWING : It has 8 points consisting of : Medical, Nutrition, Activities of Daily Living, Social/Emotional, Safety/Security, Financial management., all followed by more detail.
If one is writing a free-hand assessment of one’s loved one’s condition to relate to someone by written means, these 8 points give all the info in more detail, that could be included in a one or two-page report, and still allows you to be careful about giving out info which is “none of their business” ...or such as other caregiver’s names or personal info , ...or the precise financial details .... I Do hope that helps a bit, and do wish you well !!!!
