Walk through your parent’s home room by room, record where the light is too dim, too harsh, or missing, and decide what to fix first.
It’s written for the adult child doing the visit, with space to plan each change together with your parent.
Inside the workbook, readers will find:
- Before you start: how to use the workbook, what it covers, and what it isn’t (it’s not a vision assessment or medical advice)
- The 4 p.m. test: a short worksheet for sitting in her chair at the dim time of day and noting what you can and can’t read or see
- Light-source count: a room-by-room log of what’s in each room, with space to mark where a lamp, a brighter bulb, or a shade is needed
- Glare and shadow map: a simple floor-plan page for marking glare spots, dark corners, and shiny surfaces
- Bed-to-bathroom night path: a worksheet for the walk after dark, including the stairs, with a place to note where each nightlight goes
- Lamp timer plan: which lamps to automate, what time to set them, and a reminder to reset them when the clocks change
- Bulb and shopping list: three columns (costs nothing, under about ten dollars, worth paying for) so you can buy only what you need
- Prioritize your fixes: a one-page ranking sheet that puts the cheapest, highest-impact changes first
- Conversation starters for your parent: fill-in prompts and say-this-not-this wording that keep it about easier seeing, not a loss of independence
- Fourteen-day tracker: a daily log for noticing whether evenings are going more smoothly after the changes
- Eye exam conversation sheet: space to record what you’ve observed and the questions to bring to an appointment
- Disclaimer and 911 line: a closing page that routes medical questions to her doctor and legal or financial questions to an elder law attorney
