WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?

Start with your situation.

01 / NEW TO CARE

“I’m figuring out what help is needed.”

Make a list of questions for the person you support and the professionals involved.

02 / SHARING THE LOAD

“We need a clearer plan together.”

Keep contacts, preferences and responsibilities in one place.

03 / CARING LONG TERM

“I need space to look after myself too.”

Notice the practical support you can ask for and the time you need.

A USEFUL PATHWAY

Pause. Ask. Record. Review.

  1. Pause

    Separate what needs attention now from what can wait for a conversation.

  2. Ask

    Check preferences with the person receiving care whenever possible.

  3. Record

    Write down important contacts, questions and agreed next steps.

  4. Review

    Revisit the plan when circumstances change, with qualified support as needed.
