Assessment at a glance
Senior Navigator looks at the everyday areas of life that shape the right kind of care. Here's a plain-language summary of what it learned about Eleanor.
- Memory & thinking
Early-stage Alzheimer’s. She’s calm and sometimes forgetful — repeating questions or misplacing things — with no wandering.
- Everyday tasks
Handles bathing and dressing with reminders, but needs help with medications, meals, and managing money.
- Getting around
Walks on her own with a cane and gets up without help, though she’s had one fall recently.
- Health & medications
Manages high blood pressure and diabetes along with early Alzheimer’s, and takes six medications a day.
- Support & connection
Widowed and living alone. Her daughter visits weekly, but she’s been more isolated since she stopped driving.
- Paying for care
Has Medicare, a long-term care insurance policy, and home equity available to help cover costs.
The recommendation
Acuity: Early cognitive decline — not yet at a memory-care level. Reassess if memory or safety changes.
- Early memory changes paired with living alone — no one is there overnight if something goes wrong.
- A recent fall and growing help with everyday tasks point to more support than in-home visits provide.
- An assisted living community offers around-the-clock staff, medication management, meals, and social connection — without the higher acuity of memory care.
