The Prompt Field Guide

25 ready-to-use AI prompts for the real work of running assisted living — plus a worksheet to build your own and a 4-week tracker to make it stick.

This is a workbook, not a manual. Flip to the section that matches today's headache, copy the prompt, paste it into whatever AI tool you already have open, and swap in your own details. Five sections, twenty-five prompts:

• Time & Your Day — daily planning, meeting prep, emails, to-do lists

• Family & Resident Communication — updates, hard conversations, invitations, FAQs

• Team & Staffing — job posts, interview questions, coverage messages, onboarding

• Activities & Engagement — calendars, resident spotlights, themed events, newsletters

• Marketing & Census — social posts, tour follow-ups, referral outreach, flyers

Every prompt is copy-paste ready — just swap the [bracketed] parts. Plus five guardrails for using AI responsibly with a senior population (starting with: keep resident health details out of it — that's what your documentation software is for), a fillable "My First 5 Prompts" worksheet, and a 4-week "15 Minutes a Week" habit tracker.

Want the mindset and confidence first, before the prompts? Start with The Beginner's AI Guide — this is the tactical companion once you're ready to put AI to work.
