Client Notebook Progress Note Paper. For many Ready Hands clients, we ask our aides to keep notes in the blue Client Notebook which remains in the client’s home. If you run out of note paper, you can print more here, then punch holes in the edges so that the note paper fits onto the three metal fasteners in the notebook.

You should read the information, then complete the quiz on the last page and mail it to our office to receive one hour of continuing education credit.
