The Senior Living Decision Kit

A parent needs care, the siblings disagree, you are deciding on a deadline, and you cannot tell which of the people helping you is paid by the place they recommend.

What’s inside

  • A printable kit in seven parts: the action guide, the checklists, the scripts and letters, the worksheets, the decision tools, resources and next steps, and the facility comparison spreadsheet.
  • The facility comparison spreadsheet, in Excel and Google Sheets with the formulas already in, plus one question list and one scorecard, so independent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing are all scored on the same page.
  • The action guide that sets the order: work out the level of care before you tour anything, tour and score every place the same way, then read the agreement and run the move. Chapter two separates what a parent needs from what the family is frightened of.
  • The contract red flag list, the family scripts and letters as separate, editable Word files, and a move plan that starts the day you sign.
  • A chapter on exactly when to stop and hire someone, with the free official sources named first. Four files: a start-here PDF, US Letter, A4, and the editable set. No app, no subscription, no account to create.

Who this is for

You do not know which of the people helping you is paid by the place they recommend, and you are deciding on a deadline, with incomplete information and no practice. So the kit puts the level of care first, before any tour: chapter two separates what your parent needs from what the family is frightened of. Then every place gets the same question list, the same scorecard and the same comparison sheet, whether it is independent living, assisted living, memory care or nursing. The contract red flag list comes before you sign, and the family scripts and the move plan take over the day you do.

There are no dates in it, so there is nothing to fall behind. If you started, stopped, or already got something wrong, chapter one finds the stage you are actually at and starts there.
