Care doesn’t always arrive neatly. Sometimes it grows. Sometimes it lands overnight.
You might be supporting a parent as they age. You might be caring for an adult child, a partner, or someone whose needs have changed through illness, disability, or circumstance.
The Care Recipient Add-On exists for those moments.
It allows you to add a dedicated care section for one person to your existing handbook – without starting over, without rebuilding sections and without breaking the structure you already rely on.
This is about keeping information clear when responsibility increases.
What the Care Recipient Add-On Actually Is
The Care Recipient Add-On is a complete, standalone section for one person you provide care for, designed to slot seamlessly into your existing Handbook of Your Life.
It gives you a clear place to document care-related information for someone whose well-being depends, in part or in full, on you – without changing anything you’ve already completed.
Each Care Recipient Add-On is structured to work with the rest of your handbook, so information stays organised, readable and easy for others to follow if they need to step in.
Each add-on allows you to document one care recipient, including:
Nothing is duplicated.
Nothing needs renumbering.
Nothing gets pulled apart.
You simply add the care section to your handbook, following the same system you already rely on.
Importantly, this isn’t a temporary workaround or a loose collection of notes. It’s a deliberate extension of the handbook, designed to keep information clear as care responsibilities grow or change.
When You’d Use a Care Recipient Add-On
You’d use a Care Recipient Add-On when responsibility for someone’s care becomes part of your life — whether gradually or suddenly.
The Care Recipient Add-On lets you:
Common situations include:
In each of these situations, the challenge is the same: important information is needed by more than one person, often at short notice.
Extend Any Care Section Using the Customer Resources Portal
Every Care Recipient Add-On is designed to be expandable, just like your handbook.
If you need to record information that isn’t included by default, you don’t need a new kit — you use the customer resources portal.
We offer a wide range of unlimited, free extra pages – simple browse the templates, select what you need, download, print and insert wherever best suits in your handbook or relevant care recipient add-on section.
EXAMPLE
Rather than working around the handbook, you go to the customer resources portal, select the provider template you prefer (three styles available), download and print it, then insert it where it makes the most sense — either within the Care Recipient section or elsewhere in your handbook.
This allows you to document care-related information in a way that fits your situation, without forcing it into the wrong place.
Built for Care — Now and as Things Change
When you need to document care for someone, knowing where to start matters.
The Care Recipient Add-On provides a clear, practical starting point — giving you a dedicated place to record essential care information without needing to map everything out in advance.
As care needs change, the add-on adapts with you. You can expand, update, or add detail over time, without reworking your handbook or losing clarity.
It meets you where you are now, and continues to support you as responsibilities shift, increase, or evolve.
Purchase Options
Haven’t purchased a Handbook yet?
If you’re wanting to purchase a handbook and know that caring for someone is already part of your life, the Carers Handbook Kit is designed specifically for that situation.
The Carers Kit comes prebuilt with provision for both the carer and one care recipient, giving you a clear starting point without needing to add anything extra upfront.
If you later take on responsibility for additional people, you can add a Care Recipient Add-On for each additional care recipient as circumstances change.
Already own a Handbook?
If you already have a Handbook of Your Life and your responsibilities have changed, you can add a Care Recipient Add-On at any time.
The add-on integrates into your existing handbook without altering what you’ve already completed. It simply extends the system to reflect your current care responsibilities.
Whether care has just begun or is evolving over time, the structure remains the same – the difference is when the care section is added.
