Deciding to bring in-home support into your or a loved one’s life is a meaningful and important step. In some situations, a doctor may recommend home-based care after an illness, surgery, or a fall to help with recovery and safety. In other cases, the need for extra assistance may develop gradually and be harder to recognize right away.

So how can you tell when it might be the right time to consider additional help at home?

This short eight-question assessment is designed to evaluate key aspects of daily living that affect safety and independence, including mobility, memory, personal hygiene, social interaction, and available family support. Once completed, the quiz provides a score that helps indicate your loved one’s current level of independence and need for support at home.
