Delirium Checklist

Back to Home

It's important to let the healthcare professionals know if the person you are visiting seems to be getting sicker or if something just doesn't seem right. This could be a change in how they feel, look, or behave. Often, family members, partners, or friends notice these changes .

The Delirium Assessment Checklist is a questionnaire designed for carers to screen for delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults. During your visit today, have you noticed any sudden changes to your family member, partner, or friends’ usual behaviour? If they are usually non-attentive or disordered in their in their thinking due to conditions like dementia, and there is no change from their normal behaviour, please score them a 0.
