Time needed: 2–3 hours to set up, then 30 minutes a weekUpdated: 28 September 2026

When a parent or relative needs more help, one family member often ends up doing most of it simply by living closest. Organising care as a team reduces burnout and resentment. This guide helps you set up shared information, divide roles and keep the person's own wishes at the centre.

Step by step

  1. Start with the person's wishes

    Talk with your relative about what help they want, what they are worried about and what matters most to them. Involve them in every decision they are able to make. Their wishes should guide the plan, not just what is convenient for the family.
