Household Health, Safety & Caregiving

How to organize your household's health information, audit your home for safety, keep medications and preventive care current, and plan for caregiving before a crisis forces it.

What this course covers

The health plan your household already needs.

By the end, you will have a written household health plan: a care map showing where to go for what, a first-aid kit audit, a home safety record, a current medication list, a personal health info sheet, a preventive care schedule, and a caregiving assessment with advance-planning status. Every piece is something the household already needs but rarely organizes until a crisis forces it.

What it covers

Care routes and when to call 911, first-aid kit contents and CPR training status, home safety audits for smoke alarms and fall risks and poison storage, the household medication list, personal health info sheets, preventive care scheduling, caregiving roles and advance-care planning, and assembling the complete household health plan.

What it does not cover

Clinical diagnosis, treatment decisions, or medical advice. Those belong to the household's care providers. This course organizes the information and decisions that make provider relationships work. Mental health lives in Unit 15. Medication continuity during disruptions lives in the Medical section's disruption-specific pages.

Eight modules, three tiers.

Work through them in order. Each tier ends with something you can point to and say the household can now do this.
