A Sustainable Caregiving Decision Making Framework

Look at the current situation.

What is already happening?

Is anything urgent?

If there isn’t a crisis, what parts of everyday life are the most difficult? 

Plan for one year.

What can realistically and practically change in the next year?

Everything beyond that is a vision, not a plan. 

Consider the needs of everyone involved.

What does this mean for the person being supported?

What does this require from the caregiver? 

Then ask:

  • Why are we doing this?
  • Are my expectations appropriate?
  • Could it look differently?
  • Do they understand the why’s and how’s? 
  • Do we have cooperation and participation?
  • What one part can improve right now?
