You deserve support, too. 🫂

Finding the right in home help starts with asking the right questions.

Before hiring an agency, learn how caregivers are screened, which services are included, and what happens if your regular worker is unavailable.

Clear answers can help you make a more informed decision and find care that fits your family’s needs.

Save these questions for your search or share them with a family caregiver who may need them.

“Let me know what you need” is a kind offer, but making a specific offer can make it easier for a family caregiver to accept help.

Offer to bring dinner, handle an errand, or arrange transportation. With their agreement, take a task from beginning to end so they have one less thing to coordinate.

And keep checking in. Caregiving continues long after a crisis passes, and ongoing support matters.

Swipe for more ways to help, save these reminders, and share with someone who wants to support a caregiver.

"In my experience, a lot of people, when they get a diagnosis, don’t want to think about it. They live as if nothing happened. If the diagnosis is accurate, we know that, just like any neurologic disease, whether Alzheimer’s, frontotemporal or vascular, it will progress. So you have that precious time, assuming you’re diagnosed early, in the early stage, let’s say three, four, five years to make preparations."

Dr. Zaldy Tan discusses his book, “What to Remember When You’re Forgetting,” and breaks down how families can prepare for life after diagnosis.
