Johns Hopkins Memory Care Family Checklist
The Johns Hopkins Memory Care Family Checklist is an innovative resource developed by the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Maryland Department of Aging, and the Maryland Information Network to help families caring for someone with cognitive challenges identify essential needs, access reliable information, and connect to supports to help develop a larger care plan. It is the first tool of its kind in Maryland, where clinically-validated research is paired with community resources that are tailored to the user's individual needs.
“We must ensure our caregivers and their loved ones have every tool available to them, and this Checklist is one more critical resource we are proud to offer Marylanders,” said Gov. Wes Moore. ”The collaboration between the Maryland Department of Aging, Johns Hopkins University, and the Maryland Information Network is a prime example of how Maryland-based innovation is not just about advancing technology. It’s about improving lives and making an impact."
The Checklist will launch on January 28th. More information will be posted on https://aging.maryland.gov/Pages/MemoryCareChecklist.aspx as it becomes available. Please spread the word to support the critical work of Maryland’s family caregivers. More information to come.
