Make it personal without making it generic
Ask the recipient which single friction deserves help today and what completion means at their current energy, not at an idealized household standard.
Presentation
Draw the tested routes as wash, dry, surface, sort, store, stop, with no-fold accepted as a valid branch.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Use one reachable surface or room, keep essentials visible, preserve rest and mobility paths, and return the space to an agreed low-maintenance state.
- Skill
- The helper needs calm task sequencing, consent, and reliable follow-through, while medical, therapeutic, financial, legal, or care-plan decisions remain with qualified people.
- Maintenance
- Leave a tiny reset method, ownership note, and permission to stop using the system without explanation; do not create ongoing work for the recipient.
- Accessibility
- Offer seated, one-handed, large-print, tactile, low-sensory, voice, text, remote, shorter, and helper-completed versions according to preference.
- Sustainability
- Use what the household already owns, reduce steps and duplicate supplies, and buy only a durable verified aid the recipient wants to maintain.
- Timing
- Choose a realistic energy window, cap the task, build in rest, state the handback, and reschedule without penalty when the recipient's capacity changes.
