The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me organise care for a relative. Who needs help: [e.g. Mum, 82, lives alone] Help needed: [e.g. shopping, meals, lifts to appointments, company, medication reminders] Who can help and when: [names, days, how far away they live] Regular appointments: [list] What's hardest right now: [e.g. it's all on me, weekends, nights] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A weekly rota table: day, job, who, with gaps clearly flagged. 2. A backup plan for when someone can't make it. 3. A one-page "about [name]" sheet with blanks for GP, medication list, key contacts, routines and likes. 4. A kind, clear message to the family proposing the rota and asking for help with the gaps. 5. Remind me to check GOV.UK about Carer's Allowance and asking the council for a carer's assessment. I'm not asking for medical advice; tell me to check anything medical with the GP or pharmacist. Use only what I've told you. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
