how to write a letter explaining what my carer does for me on a daily basis?

Question

I'm not sure how to explain what my carer does for me so that i get it right

Answer 1

Similar response as rest - however, don't forget that if you need assistance to get dressed, or get into bed and have to rest during day include that time too, reading, letters, correspondence, shopping whatever - it is often easy to leave out the little things. Cooking for example might include meal preparation, lifting pans etc, shopping, helping to manage money etc, or what about shopping for clothing, ironing, washing. As someone said, break each day down into hours and go from there, including what they do on an occasional basis. Also, what they do on your worse day, not best. Citizens advice may help or disability organisations.

Answer 2

I'd just write a letter that explains your day. Break down each hour into the needs you have and what is done for you. Try to explain as much as possible so that they understand exactly what your needs are and how they are met by your carer. Perhaps you could ask your carer to help you write it as they too will have an understanding of what level of care you require.

Answer 3

Some good answers already. Maybe also write what the consequences would be for you if your carer weren't available to do those things for you, so whoever is reading can assess their impact on your quality of life.

Answer 4

ask them to write down the thing they do for you then write your own account with there help
