Understanding Their Needs: Dementia Support Checklist & Family Action Planner

Understanding Their Needs - Revised Support Planner

A 24-page family support checklist with 40 prompts across 10 areas of everyday life. Record the help needed in each situation, the person's preferences, practical actions and questions for the care team.

Includes a rating key for individual observations, personal profile, action planning and three added pages: a fictional example, context notes and appointment preparation. Ratings must not be added together or used to assign an overall dependency level. A concern in one area matters even if other areas need little help. Do not delay urgent help to complete this planner.
