Your Mother needs assistance. She's sharp as a tack, but arthritis has severely limited her mobility. She wants to stay in or near the community she knows. How can you help her find answers?
Decision Tool makes this kind of planning and decision making easy. A straightforward set of questionnaires leads you through all the criteria involved (if your Mom is computer savvy, she can navigate the questions herself). Then, based on your answers, Decision Tool guides you to relevant resources in the region you select.
Now you're ready to shape your own plan. Drawing from the resources you've found, simply save the information you want to your own home page and print out a personal plan that's uniquely customized to your mother's needs, preferences and location.
It's not only the elderly who can get accurate, meaningful help with Decision Tool. This versatile decision tool can be configured for whatever topics and populations you want: long-term care, people with disabilities or youth, for example. You decide what areas make most sense for your community and create your own configurations—which automatically work with your existing database.
When it comes to meat and potatoes, the menu is entirely in your hands. What does your community need? What resources can you offer? You get to shape the functionality of your own Decision Tool. That way, those who use it can shape better, more informed decisions.
