In-Home Support Guide

Developed by the LOWLINC Health & Wellness ad-hoc Commitee, this guide is intended to help older adults who may need or benefit from in-home assistance at some point in time. The guide describes different categories of in-home care providers to assist LOWLINC members and their families, as well as other members of our community, understand the differences among various levels of care and identify appropriate level(s) to fit their needs.

Medical Note-taking

LOWLINC has trained volunteers as Medical Note-takers to accompany members to a medical appointment for the purpose of helping a member document the details of the appointment. The notes can serve as a reference for the member and family members. For example, the Medical Note-taker can take notes on the conversation between you and your healthcare professional, note your vitals and record new medication orders and information about any forthcoming diagnostic tests. The Medical Note-taker also helps the member prepare for the visit, reviewing questions to be asked and then clarifying information that is recorded. The goal is to help a member stay in charge of their health care. Click here to learn how our Medical Notetaking Service can help you during healthcare appointments.
