This is the question almost every family reaches eventually, and it rarely arrives as a clean decision — it arrives as a slow accumulation of worries. No web page can decide it for you, and any quiz that claims to is selling something. What this can do is sort what’s worrying you into three honest piles: what still has a fix in the house, what needs help brought in, and what families tell us actually tipped the scale.
Staying home, or time for more help?
The hardest question in caregiving — and one no quiz should answer for you. This won’t give you a verdict. It sorts what’s worrying you into what has a fix at home, what needs help brought in, and what families tell us actually tipped the decision.
How to use this honestly. Check what’s true today, not what you fear might happen. This is a conversation aid for families, not medical, legal or financial advice — and it can’t see the person you’re thinking about. Decisions like this deserve a doctor, an occupational therapist, or a geriatric care manager in the room.
