Parent · Multi-month decision
Your parent is moving in with you.
The largest single transition in family caregiving — financial, legal, physical, emotional. The playbook covers the financial conversation with siblings, the written caregiver agreement (and why Medicaid look-back makes the timing matter), the home-modification tour you should do BEFORE move day not after, the explicit decision about the car, the conversation with your spouse that determines whether the marriage survives this, an external respite cadence set up on day one (not "once we see how it goes"), and the 30-day check-in to catch small problems before they harden.
How a Kintaria playbook works
Every playbook is structured the same way — so once you know one, you know all of them. Four sections in order:
- What's happening. A 2-3 paragraph orientation in plain language. What the moment is, why it's hard, what families typically miss.
- This week. Specific, named actions for the next 7 days. Phone numbers to call, paperwork to find, conversations to have. Prioritized top-to-bottom.
- This month. The structural work to set up over the next 30 days. The legal documents, the support systems, the family rhythms that prevent the next crisis.
- When to call a pro. An escalation list — warning signs that warrant a same-day call to a clinician, attorney, social worker, or crisis line.
Most playbooks finish with a list of related playbooks and the relevant documents in your Kintaria workspace.
Why a playbook (and why not a chatbot)
A chatbot can answer one question at a time. The hard part of family caregiving isn't finding an answer — it's knowing which question to ask next, and remembering what you decided last week. A playbook is a structure for the dozens of decisions that follow the first question, and a shared place where the family agrees who's doing which one.
Static enough that a tired sibling can pick it up at 11 PM and know what to do. Dynamic enough that finishing one task surfaces the next. The playbook lives in your Kintaria workspace alongside the medication list, the appointment calendar, and the activity feed — so the work the playbook surfaces happens in the same place the rest of the work is already happening.
A note on what we are (and are not)
Kintaria is not a clinical tool, not a legal advisor, not a substitute for a doctor, attorney, social worker, or hospice team. The playbook gives you structure and orientation — it does not replace professional judgment in the moments when professional judgment is what's needed. The escalation list at the bottom of every playbook is honest about that boundary.
