FREE RESOURCE

The Aging Parent Starter Kit

A free resource for adult children who want to prepare for their parents' aging — before the crisis makes the decisions for them.

What you'll find inside

The Kit is designed for the window most people skip — the years when parents are still independent, but the small shifts have already started.

  • What to notice — the early signs worth paying attention to, and how to document them without alarming anyone

  • What to organize — the information and documents hardest to gather after something goes wrong

  • How to start the hard conversations — practical language for driving, money, living arrangements, and medical wishes

  • Where to begin — a simple starting sequence so you're not staring at a blank page

It won't tell you everything. It's meant to help you take the first step — calmly, with a clear picture of what matters most right now.

Cover page of a guide titled 'The Aging Parent Starter Kit' with a subtitle 'The Quiet Indicators.' It includes a description indicating it's a practical guide for adult children of aging parents to notice patterns, prioritize matters, and start important conversations. The background color is dark blue with white and orange text.

    A NOTE FROM IVY

    I built this Kit because it's what I needed when I first started paying attention to my own parents' aging — and couldn't find it anywhere.

    Not a crisis checklist. Not a grief support resource. Something for the quiet, competent adult child who is already carrying this, even if no one has named it yet.

    It's free because the first step should never be behind a paywall. I hope it helps you take yours.
