Short answer

Yes. Edit the ADL on the client's ADLs tab and set Answer with to A list of checkboxes, then type one checkbox per line; the caregiver ticks each one done, or None of these. Any ADL can also carry up to 30 fields under More fields, the same kinds a form has, answered with the ADL. Choose Only the fields below for an ADL that is just its fields.

Step by step

  1. Open the client, then the ADLs tab, and tap Edit on the ADL (or Add ADL for a new one).
  2. Under How the caregiver answers, set Answer with to A list of checkboxes, and type each checkbox on its own line.
  3. Already typed a list into How to do it? Tap Make them checkboxes to turn those lines into checkboxes.
  4. Under More fields, choose Add a field and pick the kind: checkboxes, one choice, drop-down, searchable list, yes / no, text, number, date, time, signature, photo or heading.
  5. Tick Required on any field the caregiver has to fill in.
  6. Tap Save. The caregiver answers it on the visit's Tasks tab and at check-out.

Good to know

  • Up to 40 checkboxes per ADL, and up to 30 fields.
  • Required fields are named at check-out if left blank. Check-out is never blocked.
  • The office sees each tick, every field's answer, signatures and photos on the visit record.
  • Use it on many clients by saving it as one of your ADL templates and applying it to clients or client groups.
