Your Brain's Best Allies: Value of Involving Your Loved Ones in Your Care

At Sunday Health, we understand that exploring your cognitive health is a personal journey. We also recognize the value of including someone close to you in this process. Here's why we encourage—and often require—involving a family member or friend in your care and how it can benefit you.

Why Include a Loved One?

• Cognitive changes can be subtle, and you may not always notice how they affect your daily life.
• A family member or friend can offer valuable insights about your everyday experiences.
• This comprehensive approach helps us provide you with the most accurate assessment and personalized care plan.

What Will Your Loved One's Role Be?

We'll ask your family member or close friend to complete questionnaires about your:

• Overall wellbeing
• Day-to-day activities
• Mood and behavior
• Safety concerns

These questionnaires help us understand:

• Any changes in your ability to manage finances, prepare meals, or maintain personal care
• Potential safety concerns, such as difficulty navigating familiar places

Benefits of Involving a Loved One

1. More Accurate Assessment: Multiple perspectives help us form a complete picture of your cognitive health.
2. Personalized Care Plan: We can tailor our recommendations to address your specific needs and challenges.
3. Better Communication: This approach fosters a shared understanding of your health among you, your loved one, and our healthcare team.
4. Emotional Support: Having a trusted person involved can provide comfort during this process.

A Collaborative Approach to Your Care

At Sunday Health, we believe cognitive care is about supporting you as a whole person. Including a loved one in your care journey allows us to provide more comprehensive, personalized support.

While involving others in your health journey might feel daunting, we encourage you to see this as an opportunity for enhanced support and improved care. Together, we can navigate any challenges and work towards the best possible outcomes for you.
