Do it separately, each on your own
The person who looks after a parent rarely sees the same things as the other relatives. If there are two or more of you, each answer the five questions on your own and then compare the results. Where they differ, there is almost always something to clarify before deciding who does what.
Answers stay with whoever gives them
There is no account to share. To show the result to a brother or sister, show them the screen or go through the check together.
Before talking to the doctor
The picture that emerges is for you, to arrive prepared for the conversation with your relative, with the rest of the family and with the doctor. It should not be used to judge a person.
For the doctor, what helps most is to arrive with specific episodes written down: date, time, what they were doing. Three written episodes are worth more than half an hour of recalling from memory. The check for a parent who is becoming more confused asks exactly this.
If you work with families
Pharmacies, home care services, benefits advice offices, physiotherapists and workplace welfare schemes can make these tools available to families through a dedicated link, free of charge. Write to us at partner@mirawithyou.com.
