When care needs increase or stability at home feels uncertain.
This page is for situations where support at home may no longer be sufficient at the current level.
If there is immediate danger, severe medical symptoms, or risk of injury, call 911.
You may be here because:
• Supervision needs have increased
• Physical care tasks are becoming difficult
• Mobility or transfer safety is uncertain
• Medication management feels unstable
• Behavioral or cognitive changes are increasing
• The caregiver can no longer sustain the current level of care
Stability concerns do not always require emergency services, but they do require reassessment.
Is the concern primarily:
Increased daily support needs
New or worsening medical needs
Cognitive or behavioral changes
Caregiver physical or emotional strain
A recent hospital discharge affecting home stability
Select the pathway below that most closely reflects the current situation.

When home may no longer be the safest long-term environment.
If instability is related to a recent return home from the hospital.
