The Five Companion Resources

Stage-aligned worksheets

  1. Stage 1

    Current Situation Snapshot

    A structured way to describe what is happening right now — who is involved, what is working, and what is unclear — before making any new decisions.

  2. Stage 2

    Family Risk Review

    A calm, non-clinical review of the practical risks a family may be carrying — health, caregiving load, coordination gaps, and readiness for a first crisis.

  3. Stage 3

    Responsibility Map

    A shared view of who is responsible for what, so that assumptions become explicit and gaps are visible before a situation becomes urgent.

  4. Stage 4

    Family Health System Map

    A one-page picture of the family's current care system — people, providers, documents, and communication paths — that anyone stepping in can follow.

  5. Stage 5Reserved for in-person sessions

    Build the Health Strategy

    This stage converts the whole picture into a sequenced, practical plan — developed individually with Micah, not as a self-guided worksheet.

  6. Stage 6Reserved for in-person sessions

    Coordinate and Route Implementation

    This stage moves the strategy into responsible action and routes specialized work to the right professionals — done together with Micah, not as a self-guided worksheet.

  7. Stage 7

    When to Revisit Your Strategy

    A short checklist of life events, health changes, and organizational shifts that indicate the family plan should be reviewed and updated.

A Few Guiding Principles
Worksheets, Not Diagnoses — these tools help families organize thinking, not evaluate medical conditions.
Clarity Before Complexity — a simple, shared picture of the situation makes better decisions possible.
Coordination Is Care — much of what protects a family in a crisis is the work done to align people before the crisis.
Revisit, Don't Rebuild — a family plan should be updated in small, regular passes rather than reconstructed under pressure.
Who It's For

Built for families and the people who support them

  • Families beginning to organize care for a parent, spouse, or loved one
  • Private households wanting a shared operating picture
  • Caregivers coordinating with siblings, providers, and advisors
  • Advisors, estate managers, and family offices supporting a family

Prepared by Micah Eastman, LPN, drawing on more than 30 years of nursing, private-duty care, caregiver coordination, and household health management.

These companion worksheets are educational family-coordination tools. They are not medical diagnosis, clinical instruments, legal advice, or a substitute for guidance from a licensed physician, attorney, care manager, or other qualified professional.
