Good neighbors are a blessing, but they are not a safety system.
This 21-page printable workbook helps adult children set up a simple daily check-in their parent agrees to, and write a clear plan for what happens if one is missed.
Inside the workbook, readers will find:
- Starting-point assessment: Describe your parent’s situation, rank your biggest worries, and take the “24-hour test” to find the gaps in your current setup.
- Why neighbors are not a system: See what a casual check can and cannot show, and why a dot on a map does not prove your parent is okay.
- Check-in method comparison: Compare seven options, from scheduled calls to sensors and wearables. Use a simple rating tool to pick the one your parent will actually use.
- Habit stacking worksheet: Map your parent’s morning routine and tie the check-in to something they already do.
- Conversation guides: Words that help and words that hurt, replies to common objections, a fictional example conversation, and a plan for your own talk.
- “No answer” plan: A step-by-step escalation ladder, a care circle contact roster, and a key and access plan.
- Emergency information sheet: A fill-in page for medications, doctors, hospital, and allergies to keep by the phone or on the fridge.
- Six practice scenarios: “What would you do if…” exercises with discussion notes.
- Two-week trial log and review: Test the system, then decide together what to keep or change.
- Personal action plan: Priorities, next steps, who is responsible, and target dates.
- Resources and next steps: Where to find local programs and help.
