A Family Checklist

Is It Time to Start Looking?

A clinically-informed, six-part self-assessment for families wondering whether memory care might be the next right step.

If you're reading this, something already told you to. A repeated story. An empty pot on a hot stove. The way your mom called you by your sister's name last Tuesday, then again on Sunday.

This is not a diagnostic tool — it's a clinically-informed way to sort what you're actually seeing from what you're hoping you're seeing. Check each item that has been true consistently for the past 2–4 weeks, not just once on a bad day. Your score updates live. An interpretation appears at the end.

Informational only — not medical advice

This checklist is for educational purposes. It is not a diagnostic tool and is not a substitute for professional clinical evaluation. Only a licensed healthcare provider can diagnose dementia or recommend a level of care. Please discuss your observations with your loved one's physician.
