Helping Mom or Dad With the House

A practical family conversation guide. Helping does not mean taking over. The goal is to help your parent understand their options while they still have the ability to make the decisions themselves.

How to Have the Conversation

Don’t begin with: “You need to move.”
Try: “What would make the next few years easier for you?”

Conversation Questions

  • What do you still love about the house?
  • What has become harder?
  • What would you never want to give up?
  • What would make staying easier?
  • If you ever moved, what would the next place need to have?
  • Who should be part of this conversation?

Family Decision Rules
