Johns Hopkins Memory Care Family Checklist©

This checklist helps screen for different needs that people living with memory loss or dementia and their family or informal caregivers may have. Not all people experience the same needs or need the same kind of help.

Please fill out this checklist to help better understand what you or your loved one might need right now.

When you are done, you'll get a report with personalized results. It will include tips, helpful information, and a list of resources based on your answers.

In an emergency, call 911.
