Overnight Notes

Overnight Notes are commonly used to document Respite Care and sometimes Crisis. Respite is temporary care for the relief of primary caregivers from their caregiving responsibilities. Respite is meant to prevent a crisis or any negative physical or emotional effects for the family caregiver and care recipient and is designed to ensure the well-being of not only the family caregiver, but also the family as a whole. However, sometimes respite is needed in an emergency situation to prevent the exacerbation of the crisis. When emergencies arise and a family caregiver becomes ill or cannot provide care for other reasons, emergency respite becomes an invaluable resource. Follow the steps below to set Notes as overnight, and view the hours of your or your staff's Notes.
