Understand the care someone with dementia may need.
Caring for someone with dementia can change gradually, and it isn’t always obvious when more support is needed. Our free Care Needs Checker helps you look at everyday needs, supervision, safety and the impact on the person caring for them.
Look beyond the diagnosis.
Dementia affects people differently. The important question is often not simply what symptoms someone has, but what help they need in everyday life.
Tell us what happens day to day
We ask about memory, communication, personal care, eating and drinking, medication, mobility, behaviour, safety and night-time needs.
Only answer what is relevant
The assessment adapts to your answers. If someone is managing an area independently, unnecessary follow-up questions are skipped.
Get a practical care profile
Your results highlight the areas where support, supervision or further assessment may be worth considering, with practical next steps.
Complete your Dementia Care Needs Checker
Answer as accurately as you can based on the person’s usual needs. If their needs vary, choose the answer that best reflects what happens most often.
