Home Care Readiness Checklist — AngelsInNOVA

Home Care Readiness Checklist

A practical, no-pressure guide to help you recognize when a loved one may benefit from support at home.

If you are reading this, you have probably been watching someone you love struggle — and wondering whether it is time to get help. That question alone takes courage.

This checklist is not a diagnosis. It is a starting point — a way to organize what you have been noticing and give yourself permission to act on it. Check the items that apply to your situation, and we will help you understand what they might mean.

This checklist is completely private. Nothing is saved or shared unless you choose to reach out to us.

What Happens When You Reach Out

Step 01

A Real Conversation

You will speak with someone who listens — not a sales script. We ask about your loved one's situation, your concerns, and what matters most to your family.

Step 02

A Local Connection

We connect you with the independently owned Visiting Angels® office that serves your area. They know your community and will work with you to build a plan.

Step 03

Care on Your Terms

The local office matches your loved one with a caregiver based on personality, needs, and preferences. Care starts when you are ready — no pressure, no rush.
