Service Notes
• Task Sheet:
– Certified Nurse Aide must track the necessary tasks
daily in the service notes by checking off the tasks as
he or she completes them.
– In order for a service note to be considered valid, the
individual tasks must be checked.
• Narrative Notes:
– Written by the registered or licensed practical nurse
(RN or LPN) providing care
– Describe the type of care the nurse provides
throughout the shift.
Time Sheets
• A timesheet is used by the aide or the nurse to document
time in and time out for each shift worked.
• Often, if the caregiver is an aide, the timesheet is on the
same paper as the service notes.
• Some providers leave a timesheet in the home each
week for nurses and aides to sign in and out.
• Some agencies use an electronic timesheet that is sent
in with the claim.
