Living Alone Support Plan
Living alone means support must be built rather than ambient. This plan builds it honestly: the reliable few, the delivered layer, the paid hour — and the word that means 'crashed'. Some people genuinely have limited support; this plan is allowed to be thinner than the need, and that's grief, not failure.
What this is for: Making the few supports reliable rather than broad — and layering what can be layered.
The reliable few
However short the list is. Distant counts. Online counts.
You can leave this blank.
The delivered layer
The one word and what it means
Agreed in advance with whoever it goes to — one message, a known arrangement.

The home doing a co-habitant's share
The honest gap
Naming it isn't pessimism. Some weeks the plan is thinner than the need — and holding the door open for help that may arrive later is a valid strategy.

What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
The built-not-ambient version: the reliable few named, the delivered layer ordered, the word agreed — and the honest gap said out loud.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
Building support when you live alone is slow, and it counts double. Statutory services, remote support and online community all belong on this plan — a thin plan that's real is worth more than a rich one that isn't.
