What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Long Term Care Options loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 189 tokens; SKILL.md has 674 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~189
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Understand the long-term care options for an older or ill loved one — from in-home care to assisted living to nursing care — so you can compare them for your situation. Use when asked what are the care options for my parent, in-home care vs assisted living vs nursing home, help me choose a care option, or explain long-term care. Produces a plain-English explainer of the main care levels and what each is for, a match to the person's needs (care level, budget, preferences), the key questions and red flags when evaluating providers, cost and funding considerations to research, and how to involve the person in the decision — a map for one of the hardest, most emotional decisions a family makes. Not medical or financial advice.

Long-Term Care Options

Choosing care for an aging or ill loved one is one of the hardest decisions a family faces — emotionally fraught, expensive, and full of confusing options. This maps the landscape: what the main levels of care actually are and who each suits, how to match them to your person's real needs and budget, what to look for (and the red flags) when evaluating providers, and how to involve the person with dignity. It's a decision map, not medical or financial advice.

What This Skill Produces

  • The options explained — the main levels in plain language: in-home care (from occasional help to live-in), adult day programs, assisted living, memory care, and nursing/skilled care — and who each is for
  • A needs match — which options fit the person's actual care level (daily-living help vs. medical vs. dementia care), budget, and preferences
  • Evaluation questions & red flags — what to ask and observe when touring/vetting providers (staffing, safety, cleanliness, culture, turnover, reviews, inspection records)
  • Cost & funding to research — the (jurisdiction-specific) cost ranges and funding routes to look into, flagged to verify
  • Involving the person — how to include them in the decision and preserve dignity, even when capacity is limited
  • A boundary — this maps options; medical needs assessment and financial/legal specifics need professionals

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The person's needs — physical care, medical needs, cognitive status (dementia?), and how much help daily
  • Their wishes — what they want, and their capacity to be involved
  • The family situation — who's available, proximity, and the budget
  • The trigger — a health change, a crisis, safety concerns, or planning ahead
  • Region — for the (educational) cost/funding pointers

Framework: Match Need To Level, Vet Carefully

  1. Explain the levels clearly. From in-home help through assisted living to nursing care, describe what each provides and the kind of need it suits — the terms confuse everyone.
  2. Match to real needs. The right option depends on care level (help with daily living vs. skilled medical vs. memory care), not just preference or cost — assess honestly.
  3. Weigh the trade-offs. In-home preserves familiarity but has limits; facilities offer more support but are a big change — surface the trade-offs for this person.
  4. Vet providers hard. Give the questions and red flags: staffing ratios and turnover, safety and cleanliness, the culture/warmth, reviews, and any inspection/regulatory records.
  5. Research cost and funding. Costs are high and funding is jurisdiction-specific — point to the ranges and funding routes to investigate, flagged to verify locally.
  6. Involve the person with dignity. Include them as much as their capacity allows; this is their life. And bring in professional assessment for medical/financial/legal specifics.

The options

LevelWhat it providesSuits
In-home care[help at home, occasional → live-in]
Adult day / assisted living
Memory care
Nursing / skilled care

Best matches for your person: [given care level + budget + wishes] + the trade-offs. When vetting providers, ask/observe: staffing & turnover · safety & cleanliness · culture/warmth · reviews · inspection records. Cost & funding (research locally): [ranges + funding routes to look into]. Involve them: [include the person, preserve dignity].

A decision map — not medical or financial advice. Get a professional needs assessment and financial/legal guidance for the specifics; costs and funding vary by region.

Quality Checks

  • Explains the main care levels in plain language
  • Matches options to the person's real care level, budget, and wishes
  • Surfaces the trade-offs honestly
  • Gives provider evaluation questions and red flags
  • Points to cost/funding to research (flagged jurisdiction-specific)
  • Centers involving the person; states not medical/financial advice

Anti-Patterns

  • Recommending a level without assessing real care needs.
  • Ignoring the trade-offs of each option.
  • No provider red flags — how families end up somewhere bad.
  • Asserting costs/funding as universal.
  • Deciding over the person rather than with them.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What are the care options for my mom who can't live alone anymore?"
  • "In-home care vs assisted living vs nursing home — help me compare."
  • "Explain long-term care options for my ill father."
  • "How do I choose a care facility, and what are the red flags?"
  • "My parent has dementia — what care level do they need?"
