4-7 Points: Early Warning Signs
What Your Score Means
What this means:
You’re noticing some legitimate concerns that suggest your loved one could benefit from support. These early warning signs often get rationalized away (“They’re just having a bad week”), but they typically indicate emerging needs.
Recommended next steps:
- Have a family conversation using this assessment as a starting point
- Schedule a medical check-up to rule out treatable conditions (UTI, medication side effects, depression)
- Consider a professional home care assessment (free, no obligation) to understand options before you need them urgently
- Start with light support (2-3 visits per week for companionship and light housekeeping)
- Reassess in 30 days to see if concerns are increasing

Why act now: Early intervention prevents crisis situations and gives everyone time to adjust gradually.
Reality check: Most families in this range wait 6-12 months before taking action. By then, the situation is often more difficult and more expensive to address.
