Care and support logistics
List supplies for agreed household support tasks
Start from the tasks the person has agreed to, then list the ordinary supplies each one uses. For every item, record where it is kept, how much is on hand and who to ask for more. A helper should never have to guess which cleaner or bag is approved.
A text to start with
The agreed household tasks are [tasks]. Supplies the person has approved are [items]. Known locations and quantities are [details or unknown], and the restocking contact is [name]. Organize these into a task-and-supply list. Mark missing items or locations as questions rather than inventing them. Keep this list to ordinary household work; leave medication and care procedures in their existing approved instructions.

Items that do not belong
Check that every supply belongs to an agreed household task and is an item the person has approved. Leave unknown quantities and storage locations as questions until someone checks the shelves. Note products the person does not want used and any location a helper cannot access. Keep medication and care procedures separate from this ordinary household list, using the arrangements already agreed for those tasks. Confirm who handles shortages and whether that person has accepted the role.
Ask another agent to check the result
Compare supplies with the agreed tasks and approved item list. Flag invented quantities, uncertain locations and supplies without a matching task. Identify medication or care-procedure instructions that belong in the separate agreed care materials. Do not recommend substitutions or decide how clinical items should be used.
Walk through it with the person
Go through the list with the person receiving help and cross out anything they do not want used. Check the actual shelves against the locations and quantities written down. Decide who restocks and how a helper reports a shortage. Give each helper only the section for their tasks, and update the list whenever a task is added or dropped.
