Questions families ask

My parent had a fall on Staten Island. What should we actually do in the next two weeks?

Treat the fall as a signal, not just an accident -- a first fall is one of the strongest predictors of a second one. Get the cause investigated (medication, vision, blood pressure, inner-ear issues), fix obvious environmental hazards, ask whether anyone was present, and watch closely for a fear-of-falling pattern that causes reduced activity and further weakening.

We just got a dementia diagnosis for a parent. What actually needs to happen this month?

Very little needs to be decided immediately. Get the specific diagnosis type (Alzheimer's, vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal all progress differently), do legal planning now while capacity is clear -- power of attorney, health care proxy, advance directives -- and connect with NYC Aging (DFTA) through CASC for local support resources.

How do I know when it's actually time to look at memory care instead of managing at home?

Wandering or exit-seeking behavior is one of the clearest signals, because it converts a general supervision challenge into a genuine safety risk that is difficult to manage reliably at home. Other signals include medication errors, unsafe stove or appliance use, and a caregiver reaching a point of exhaustion that itself becomes a safety issue.
