Our "About Me Template"  is designed as a tool for family members or care partners to complete for loved one's who are receiving care from in-home companion care and other healthcare professionals within their home or who are receiving care within Assisted Living Facilities, Memory Care communities or Long Term Care. It is also designed for Occupational Therapists or Speech Therapists to utilize with their clients.
 
Our customizable "About Me" template is a wonderful way to highlight life accomplishments, favorite memories, and preferences to share with care companions who may be caring for your loved one. This template can also be used for healthcare professionals to get to know your loved one if your loved one is in the hospital or rehab. 
 
Our "About Me" Template Promotes: 
Building rapport between care staff and your loved one 
Opportunities for your loved one to reminisce 
Meaningful communication and connection between your loved one and care companions
A quick way for care companions to get to know your loved one as a person and not just a number!
 
The Memory Compass has years of experience working in Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Long Term Care, and Home Health and we know the importance of having "About Me" information available. Some families will create binders and books but unfortunately, care companions often have limited time in their schedule to sit down and read them. This is why we created this one-page "About Me" template that can be referenced quickly by care companions. This page can be printed and posted in different areas of a loved one's living environment such as a wall in the bedroom, living room, kitchen, or bathroom. It could also be placed in a care binder.
