need a standardized client note for elderly homevisits

[Guest guest]

I am just starting to do some homevisits with the elderly and was wondering if

anyone has a standardized client note that they use for this purpose. I am the

first dietitian the company had ever hired so they do not have a note in the

computer for me to use.

I am new to working with the elderly, as well. I know the typical things to look

for, weight loss/gain, malnutrition, swallowing or chewing difficulties, social

issolation, ability to prep foods, etc.... Are there any particular nutritional

issues associated with this group?

Also my first client has myasthenia gravis. Are there any nutritional

immplications other then potential for difficulty swallowing related to this

condition?

TIA,
