How to use this page

Fill it in with Mom rather than about her. Her words, not your summary of them — the point is that someone new reads it and hears her, not a care plan.

Print two copies. One stays with her, somewhere she can see it. The other goes to whoever is coming to help, before the first visit, so the first hour is a proper hello instead of twenty questions.

Come back to it every few months. What she wants to keep doing herself is the part that changes, and it is the part most worth keeping current.
