How to use your result
No quiz can decide where someone should live — that is a conversation for the person themselves, their family and their doctor. What a quiz can do is make the conversation concrete. Share the result, talk about the areas that scored 0 or 1, and agree on one support to try for each. Then re-take the quiz after a hospital stay, a fall, a new diagnosis, or every six months.
