Frailty Roadmap for Families

This brochure is a basic roadmap of the territory, to help families orient themselves on the journey they are traveling, and see what’s coming farther along the road.

The frailty journey can be roughly divided into early, middle, and late stages, then end of life. This guide outlines the features of each stage, the signposts that tell you where you are on this road, and what may be coming up next. Included are questions that can help you clarify where you are, and suggestions about things we can do as a family and care team to give you or your loved one the best possible quality of life where they are right now
