What to ask at the doctor's visit
When it's time to bring in help
From page one of the checklist
You noticed something at dinner. You just didn't know what to call it.
Families often explain these away. Check any you've seen. The checklist shows what to do about each one.
Repeating the same question, or missing appointments
Confused about the day, or lost somewhere familiar
Unusual decisions: a scam call, a risky purchase, unsafe driving
Losing words, or the thread of a conversation
New irritability, anxiety, or pulling away from people
Trouble with medications, money, cooking, or bathing
Restless nights, late-day confusion, or wandering
If you've noticed 1 or more changes. That's worth a calm next step.

Is this for your family?
This checklist is for you if:
You noticed changes during a visit and aren't sure they're serious enough to act on.
There's no diagnosis yet, but something feels different.

You're the one coordinating everything, sometimes from another state.
If you're worried and not sure what comes next, you're exactly who this is for.
