Before They Forget is a guided home safety assessment designed for families navigating Alzheimer’s, dementia, and memory-related change. It helps you review the home, identify concerns, and receive a clear summary of what needs attention.

Before They Forget costs $10 because there is real infrastructure, real technology, and real human oversight required to keep the system running reliably as assessments are processed. We are not a nonprofit and do not have outside funding, so this small fee helps us provide the experience in a way that is private, reliable, and ad-free.

Your assessment is built from the information you share about your home and your family’s situation as it relates to Alzheimer’s or dementia. While Before They Forget is not medical advice, it is designed to give you a clearer and more useful picture of what may need attention at home.

We also believe your data should remain yours. We do not sell, share, or make your information accessible to advertisers or outside parties.

We know $10 may feel small to some people and significant to others. That is one reason we offer Help Another Family, which allows others to help cover the cost for someone who may need access. If the $10 is a barrier, contact us. We will do our best to make sure you can still use Before They Forget.
