Frequently Asked Questions

The quiz evaluates your answers across eight care dimensions: primary condition, mobility level, daily task assistance needs, medication complexity, communication abilities, caregiver availability, insurance type, and emotional wellbeing.

Yes. Simply reload the page or click the back button to start over. Your answers are not saved or stored. You may want to take the quiz once for your current situation and again for a future scenario, such as after an upcoming surgery.
That is a good sign — it means your current care plan aligns with your assessed needs. You can still use the results to check whether additional services might help. For example, if the quiz recommends medical social services and you are not currently receiving them, it may be worth discussing with your care team.
