Free Dementia Family Quick Start Checklist
A simple starting point for families supporting someone living with dementia.
Do we understand what the diagnosis means?
Do we know who to contact if we're worried about changes?
Do we have an up to date list of medications and upcoming appointments?
Have we thought about what support my loved one might need at home?
Have we looked at what support may be available to us?
Have we considered future planning while my loved one can still be involved?
Is there anything at home that could create a safery concern?
Am I getting enough support myself?
What is the one thing we're finding hardest right now?
Remember: You don't have to solve everything at once. Start with the one thing that's causing the most worry or difficulty right now.
Please note: This checklist provides general information and practical guidance only. It is not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice. If you have concerns about your loved one's health, medication or treatment, please speak to the appropriate healthcare professional.
