Caring for a loved one with a neurological condition, chronic illness, or age-related decline can feel overwhelming—especially when you begin to see changes and aren’t sure what is "normal" aging, and what next steps to take. For many adults and older adults living with conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, cognitive decline, or mobility challenges, preventative neurological therapy can play a powerful role in maintaining safety, independence, and confidence at home.

If you’re wondering whether your loved one may benefit from therapy, this checklist can help.

Caregiver Checklist: Signs Preventative Therapy May Be Helpful

If you notice one or more of the following, preventative neurological therapy may support your loved one’s safety and long-term health:

 Safety & Daily Living

•  Increasing difficulty with dressing, bathing, toileting, or grooming
  
  

• Trouble managing cooking, medications, or household tasks
  
  

• Forgetting steps of familiar activities or directions in familiar community settings
  
  

•  Needing more help with things they used to do independently
  
  

 Balance, Mobility & Strength

• More frequent stumbles, tripping, or near-falls
  
  

• Slower, more cautious walking
  
  

•  Trouble getting in and out of chairs, bed, or car, using furniture

Why Preventative Neurological Therapy Matters

Preventative therapy is not only about improving function—it’s about protecting what matters most: independence, safety, dignity, and quality of life.

For many adults and older adults, therapy can help:
- Reduce fall risk
- Prevent avoidable emergency visits and hospitalizations
- Improve strength, cognition, and mobility
- Support confidence and meaningful participation in life
- Provide caregiver education and support
