What to plan

Coordinating care as a family

Decide who decides before anything else. One named decision-maker, one backup, and clarity on who approves expenses and answers after-hours calls prevents most family friction. Keep the person receiving care inside those decisions for as long as they are able and willing.

A handover is a working document, not a report card. Keep it factual and brief, keep personal medical detail to what care actually requires, and agree once where it is stored so nobody is scrolling through old chats during an emergency.

Set a standing check every month or two: are the hours matched to the need, has the job grown beyond what was agreed, and is the main caregiver still coping. Catching drift early keeps a good arrangement good. Contact us on WhatsApp for help organising the next step.
