Family Check

Parent Life-Change
Awareness Check

"Mom seems to walk more slowly lately." "Dad is eating less." When you notice small changes like these in an aging parent, it is often hard to know where to turn. This check helps you organize changes over roughly the past six months from a family member's point of view, and suggests where to seek advice.

  • This is not a diagnostic tool. It shows no scores or risk levels, and it does not determine any disease or psychological condition.
  • Do not use this page in an emergency. If you suspect an emergency — abnormal consciousness or breathing, sudden weakness on one side — call 119 immediately.
  • Your answers stay on this screen only; nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Reloading the page clears them.

Think back over roughly the past six months and choose the answer that fits.

"Not sure" is never counted as a warning sign. It is simply collected as something to look at together with your parent next time you meet.

Next Step

Also review their home environment

Once you have noticed changes in your parent, the next step is their home. Our Home Fall-Prevention Checklist walks you room by room — from the entrance to the stairs — to find places worth reviewing.
