Care Assessment Quiz
Five questions, one honest read on the level of care needed
NASMM Certified · BBB A+ Rated · 30+ Years Experience
Answer each question for the last two weeks, not the best week. The pattern across all five matters more than any single answer.
The five questions
- Mobility: Can they get out of a chair, walk to the bathroom, and shower without another person present?
- Medications: Do they take the right dose at the right time without reminders or supervision?
- Cognition: Have there been repeated memory lapses, confusion about time or place, or unsafe decisions?
- Daily activities: Can they manage meals, laundry, shopping, and finances without help?
- Safety: Has there been a fall, a missed meal, a stove left on, or a door left unlocked in the last month?
Reading the pattern
- All five independent: independent or independent living, with occasional family help.
- One or two needs: assisted living, or in-home help several days a week.
- Three or four needs, or any safety incident: assisted living with a care plan — act soon.
- Memory changes with wandering or unsafe decisions: memory care is worth touring now.
- Clinical needs — wound care, injections, complex medication: ask about skilled nursing or home health.
What to do next
- Write down specific incidents with dates instead of describing a general feeling.
- Share the pattern with the primary care doctor and ask for a cognitive and medication review.
- Call the local ADRC for a free options consultation.
- Tour one setting from each level so the comparison is real.
- Bring a second family member to the same tour so nothing is remembered differently.
This quiz is an awareness tool only and does not replace a professional care assessment.
