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.
