Include your own schedule in the plan
Work, appointments, rest, and time with other family members all matter. Identify the periods when another person’s help would be most useful.
Make routines easy to share
Prepare a short list of preferences, usual meal times, favorite activities, and important contacts. Discuss care instructions directly with the team through the agreed communication process.
Ask about planned relief
Respite support can be discussed for specific periods, subject to availability. Talk through the schedule, tasks, and handoff before making plans.
