Preparing your home for a calmer first visit

A little preparation before the first visit leaves more room for questions and reassurance.

01

Keep the essentials together

Keep the current medication list, clinician’s instructions and upcoming appointments together. Do not upload these to the public form; ask the coordinator how to share them appropriately.

02

Choose a point of contact

Choose a family contact to coordinate the visit and gather questions, while keeping the patient involved in decisions wherever possible. Write down the two or three questions that matter most.

03

Prepare a suitable space

Choose a comfortable space with privacy and room for the team to work. Tell the coordinator about stairs, access difficulties or particular needs. Check what is required before buying equipment.

04

Leave with a clear next step

Before the visit ends, confirm the instructions, follow-up arrangements and who to contact with questions. Ask for an explanation again if anything is unclear.
