Routines, Reminders & Remote Support Fit Assessment
This assessment helps determine how well routines, reminders, and remote support services may fit your needs. Choose one option per question; scores add up to a final total that maps to a result.
/10
How often do missed medications, appointments, or daily tasks happen right now?
Rarely or never
Occasionally (about 1–2 times per month)
Weekly
Several times per week or daily
/10
How much support is needed to stay on a consistent daily routine (meals, hydration, hygiene, sleep)?
No support needed
A little prompting helps
Regular reminders are needed most days
Hands-on planning and frequent check-ins are needed
/10
How comfortable is the person receiving care with phone calls, texts, or app-based reminders?
Very comfortable
Somewhat comfortable with simple instructions
Not very comfortable; may need setup and coaching
Not comfortable; struggles to use devices reliably
/10
How often does someone need to confirm that important tasks were actually completed (not just reminded)?
Almost never
Sometimes for key tasks
Often—confirmation is important
Very often—requires routine verification and follow-up
/10
How far away are family/friends who could otherwise provide regular check-ins?
Living together or close enough for frequent in-person help
Nearby but availability is limited
In another city/province; in-person help is infrequent
Little to no reliable informal support available
/10
How frequently does the person feel anxious, overwhelmed, or isolated without someone checking in?
Rarely
Sometimes
Often
Very often; check-ins noticeably improve wellbeing
/10
How predictable is the weekly schedule (appointments, therapy, deliveries, classes, work shifts)?
Very predictable and easy to manage
Mostly predictable with occasional changes
Frequently changes and is hard to track
Highly variable and often missed without coordination
/10
How important is it to have a caregiver who can coordinate and communicate updates with family/care team (with consent)?
Not important right now
Somewhat important for occasional updates
Important for regular updates and coordination
Essential for ongoing coordination across multiple people/services
/10
When something changes (new medication, new appointment time, health change), how quickly does the routine need to be adjusted?
Can wait; adjustments are easy
Within a few days
Within 24–48 hours
Same day; quick changes prevent problems
/10
Overall, how beneficial would remote support (scheduled calls/text check-ins, reminders, and follow-ups) be compared with in-person support alone?
Not very beneficial
Somewhat beneficial as a supplement
Very beneficial for ongoing consistency
Extremely beneficial; remote support is a key need
Low Need for Routines/Reminders/Remote Support
Current routines are generally stable and issues are infrequent. Light-touch reminders or occasional check-ins may be sufficient, or you may only need support during transitions (e.g., after illness, medication changes, or new appointments).
Moderate Need — Regular Reminders and Check-ins Helpful
Some consistency challenges are present. A structured plan with recurring reminders, scheduled check-ins, and occasional follow-up/confirmation could meaningfully improve adherence to routines and reduce missed tasks.
High Need — Ongoing Routines, Reminders, and Coordinated Remote Support Recommended
Missed tasks or routine disruption are frequent, or reliable support is limited. A comprehensive approach—routine-building, frequent reminders, verification/follow-ups, and coordination with family/care partners (with consent)—is likely to provide the best outcomes.
