Caregiver Tips: Use Sticky Notes to Remember Daily Tasks

Stay on Track with Sticky Notes

A great way to help your loved one remember everyday health and hygiene chores, as well as appointments, is to write down daily reminders on sticky notes. Place them in well-trafficked areas of the home and where they’re easy to spot, such as the bathroom mirror or on the refrigerator. The reminders can help your loved one feel more independent.
