Senior says no adult child says yes workbook cover



When an older adult says no and their adult child says yes, you need more than a sales pitch.

This 21-page printable workbook helps aging in place professionals listen to both people, respect the older adult’s right to choose, and build a plan that actually gets used.

Inside the workbook, readers will find:

  • A starting-point self-assessment to show where your current practice is strong and where to grow
  • Key terms in plain language, including dignity of risk, decision-making capacity, and power of attorney
  • An Authority Check worksheet to confirm who signs, who consents, and who pays before you begin
  • A “Hear What Is Behind the No” table to uncover the real objection, whether it is cost, stigma, or fear of a move
  • An interview guide for your one-on-one time with the older adult, with a permission-to-share section
  • A Goal Language Translator for turning safety terms into words that match what the client cares about
  • A 30-day trial planner for rentals, temporary installs, and removable options
  • A Two Wish Lists worksheet to find where the older adult and the family agree
  • A referral circle for occupational therapists, geriatric care managers, and elder law attorneys
  • Six realistic “What would you do if…?” scenarios with writing space and discussion notes
  • A sample 90-minute family meeting agenda with a Summary of Agreements form
  • Permission checklists for walk-through videos and peer stories
  • A Declined Recommendation Record and a “Not Now” file tracker
  • Warning signs, an escalation guide, and an observation log
  • A personal action plan with next steps, responsible people, and target dates
  • A resources page with verified links
