Make it personal without making it generic
Let the recipient choose home, outdoors, public space, remote presence, or cancellation without explanation.
Presentation
Send a plain invitation with four replies: quiet visit, remote company, another day, or no visit.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Use a familiar place with comfortable seating and no expectation that the recipient prepare it.
- Skill
- The essential skill is following cues and leaving when agreed, not offering advice.
- Maintenance
- Remove all items brought in and send no follow-up questions beyond the recipient's preference.
- Accessibility
- Plan seating, route surface, temperature, communication, fatigue, and sensory conditions in advance.
- Sustainability
- Bring reusable service items and use a nearby setting when practical.
- Timing
- Offer a short window and reconfirm shortly before arrival because capacity may change.
What to investigate
