Questions families ask

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.

I live off Staten Island and I'm managing my parent's care from a distance. What's the priority?

Build a plan that survives a bad week -- one where you cannot get there quickly and no one nearby can safely check in. Recruit local eyes (a regular visitor, a Meals on Wheels driver, a trusted neighbor), get medical power of attorney and HIPAA authorizations in place early, and establish one local point of contact you can reach quickly.
