A fictional nonclinical support handoff that records the adult’s preferences, consent, practical tasks, named owners and a qualified-help escalation route.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Preferences and limited permissions.
  • Practical/qualified-help task matrix.
  • Confirmed task owners and availability gaps.
  • Minimal status handoff.
  • Capacity statement and change/escalation review.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Plan respects Rosa’s preferences, consent and limited sharing permission.
  • Task matrix distinguishes practical support from clinical, lifting and legal authorization questions.
  • Owners and status records use confirmed availability and distinguish ordered from received.
  • Changed needs remain pending where coverage is missing and use the appropriate qualified or urgent route.

The idea in everyday life

Rosa chooses groceries; Eli is available Tuesday 2–3; Noor is available Thursday 10–11. Rosa asks for delivery setup Tuesday and a library-book return Thursday. No one is available Wednesday.

The idea

Assign only the help requested, with an owner and a limit.

Map tasks without removing independence — supplied practice

Assign only the help requested, with an owner and a limit.

Rosa chooses groceries; Eli is available Tuesday 2–3; Noor is available Thursday 10–11. Rosa asks for delivery setup Tuesday and a library-book return Thursday. No one is available Wednesday.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Assign Tuesday delivery setup to Eli after confirming willingness.

    You should see: Eli has the supplied Tuesday window; Rosa retains list choice.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Assign Thursday book return to Noor after confirmation.

    You should see: Noor has the matching Thursday window.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Record Wednesday as unavailable rather than fabricate coverage.

    You should see: Any new Wednesday task needs an alternative agreed route.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Specify a check-back question about whether the arrangement is still wanted.

    You should see: Ask Rosa whether the support and timing remain suitable.

Now change one thing

The book return moves to Wednesday. Enter covered or unresolved.

Your work

What to finish

A two-task support schedule with owners, consent and an availability gap.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Do not fill a schedule gap by imposing work on an unconfirmed person.

How can I tell I understand it?

Support each lesson-specific criterion with your supplied-case artifact: I matched tasks to availability.; I retained Rosa’s decisions.; I recorded the new uncovered need honestly.
