Guider

Det vi har lært av å lese hva folk faktisk spør om når en forelder begynner å trenge hjelp, og søsknene skal bli enige om hvem som gjør hva.

Guidene på engelsk

De samme guidene på engelsk, for familiemedlemmer som leser det bedre enn norsk. Norske regler står fortsatt som norske regler.

Where to start when a parent needs help

An order that works: write down what is already being done, ring the local service, ask for the written decision, share out the weeks, and record every call.


Organising paperwork for an elderly parent

How to keep the calls with the council, home care, the bank and the energy company straight: one line per call — the date, the name, what was agreed, the reference.


Keeping track of Mum's appointments and tasks

How siblings keep GP appointments, shopping and home care visits in order without searching three group chats — and what a shared overview should contain.


When caring for a parent wears you out

The signs that you're wearing out as a family carer for an ageing parent, why the sandwich generation feels it so hard, and what actually helps.


Families and home care: who talks to whom

How families keep in touch with home care without messages getting lost: one contact person, the right questions and a contact card every sibling has.


When siblings disagree about caring for Mum or Dad

Why siblings end up disagreeing about the care of an ageing parent, and what actually calms the conflict when feelings and old history get in the way.


How to share the responsibility between siblings

A practical way to share out caring tasks between siblings, with a duty week, a fixed rhythm and an overview everyone can see, so no one is left holding it all.


Responsibility for your parents as they grow old

What adult children are really responsible for when Mum or Dad grows old, what the public services cover in Norway, and how siblings can agree on the rest.
