When siblings and family members see a parent’s care differently, love can turn into conflict.
This 29-page printable workbook helps your family listen to each other, hold productive meetings, divide the work fairly, and agree on a plan for Mom, Dad, or any loved one.

- A task plan and a money worksheet for dividing the work and the costs
- A guide to neutral help (counselors, aging life care managers, elder mediators, and elder law attorneys) with questions to ask before you hire anyone
- A caregiver self-care section with a burnout signs checklist and a personal support plan
