Independent Parent Moves In

Still Independent, Now Under One Roof

What these are not

A workbook is a conversation, held on paper.

Every Roumo workbook supports a household conversation and records what the people in it decided. It is not legal, medical, financial, tax, housing-rights or mental-health advice. Local rules and individual circumstances vary. When rights, ownership, care safety or a major financial commitment are involved, bring in a licensed professional.

If there is a threat, coercion, abuse or a medical emergency in the house, that is not a worksheet problem. Contact emergency services or a qualified professional.

Where a workbook touches law, health or money more closely than most, it carries its own note naming that boundary. Read it before you start.
