It will give a good idea of where they are with the disease and discuss what the options may be. If it is to get them on alzheimer's medications to making their home safe or decide if this is the time to start looking for a place that specifically deals with the disease. Harbor House will also come out to do an assessment in the family members home as to clear picture of what her needs are.

Not Showering
Not taking medications
Not eating right
