Friendly Reminders

 

Before You Go

Document your time and mileage.

Count meals, milk, dessert, etc – keep them upright!

 

When You Arrive

Check the list for special diets and milk.

Always be pleasant and helpful!

Knock, and knock again if necessary.

If no answer, see if the door is open and call out.

Talk to the client! Listen! Ask if you can help.

Note anything out of the ordinary… abuse/neglect.

Document observations and donations.

If you cannot locate the client, don’t leave the meal!

If the door is locked, call the home phone, then MoW.

 

Emergencies

If the door is open:

and you discover the client fallen

or if you cannot rouse the client who is there

or if the client requests medical help

call 911 immediately and wait for them to arrive.

Call the MoW office and inform them of the situation.
