Workbook
The Care Decision Workbook
For adult children managing aging parents — decision authority, care coordination, and the conversation nobody wants to start.
The conversation nobody wants to start is the one the whole family needs to have.
For the adult children navigating decisions about an aging parent's care — and the parents themselves — who are in the territory where care coordination, decision authority, and family dynamics are all happening at once without anyone having named the rules.
The Name It First Experience
Who makes medical decisions? Who coordinates care? What does the parent want, and who is accountable for honoring it? What happens when siblings disagree? Most families navigate these questions reactively — in the emergency room, at the kitchen table after a fall, or over the phone after a diagnosis. This workbook creates the structure before the crisis: what the parent wants, what each person is responsible for, and how decisions get made when people disagree. The output is not an advance directive. It is The Family Care Agreement.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What would your family need to agree on before the next crisis?
- What happens in your family when the adult children disagree?
- What outcome do you most need from this process — for the person receiving care and for yourself?
- What are your actual priorities in this decision — the things that cannot be compromised?
Research basis
Family caregiver burden research / family systems theory on multi-adult decision authority / elder law research on care agreement conflict reduction.
