Run a family meeting to make a big care decision together — so it's a shared, informed decision instead of a fight or one person deciding alone. Use when asked help me run a family meeting about care, we need to decide together about mom's care, my siblings and I disagree about our parent, or facilitate a care decision. Produces an agenda and structure for the meeting, how to prepare (facts, options, everyone's input), ground rules to keep old family dynamics from derailing it, how to include the person being cared for, ways to work through disagreement toward a decision, and clear next steps with owners — turning an emotional, conflict-prone conversation into a productive one. Not legal, medical, or financial advice.

▸Who's involved — the family members, their locations, and the dynamics
▸The person being cared for — their needs, wishes, and capacity to participate
▸The disagreements — where views differ or tension exists
▸The facts available — what's known vs. needs gathering (costs, options, medical input)
