You can't be the plan from three states away. But you can make sure a plan exists — one your parent chose, in their words, with you as the far-away coordinator instead of the emergency flight.
Twelve plain questions, a verdict in hours, and every gap named. Free — and nothing you answer leaves your browser.
A key with a neighbor or a lockbox. If the first door can't open, nothing else on this page matters.
Who to call, the medicines, the directive's location, the pet — printed, at the house, and a copy with you.
From far away, your job is the phones, the call tree, the records, the money watch. It is a real job, and it's the one distance can't take from you.
Not guessed at a hospital desk. Written, in their words, while it was a calm weekend project instead of a crisis.
Lead with yourself, not with their mortality: "I realized I have nothing written down either — if I couldn't speak for a week, nobody could run my life. I'm fixing mine. Will you do yours alongside me?" Doing yours first — and saying so — turns a lecture into a shared project. Our 48-Hour Test is a gentle way in: take it yourself, share your hours, then ask them to take theirs.
The Organizer Kit is filled in by your parent, on their own computer, and stays in their hands — which is usually exactly what makes a parent willing to do it. Its People Tree has a named role for you (the far-away coordinator), and its refresh ritual gives you a yearly, natural moment to check that everything is still current.
One honest note: a kit bought for a parent only works if the parent opens it. If yours won't, the free test and the guides are a slower door — send them the guide written in their own search words and start the conversation there.
