For professionals
Free tools to share with the families you support
If you support people after a stroke, with dementia or as they get older — as a speech and language therapist, occupational therapist, nurse, social prescriber or support worker — these free tools may be useful to pass on. No sign-up, no cost, nothing to install. Each one has a one-page leaflet and a QR code to print or hand over.
What these are not
These are everyday aids, not clinical tools. They don't assess, diagnose or treat anything, and they don't replace your work with the person or their therapy. Please use your own judgement about whether one suits someone.
Privacy
The tools run in the web browser. What a person types or taps stays on their own device — nothing is sent to us, and there are no accounts. We count, anonymously, how often each tool is opened (never who), so we know which ones are useful.
Which tool may help with what
Each tool opens in the person's own language: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Polish.
My Voice
When words are hard after a stroke: big buttons that speak everyday needs aloud, a Yes / No strip, a 0–10 pain scale and a large-print screen to show someone.
My Day
When the day is hard to keep hold of: the time, the day and date, what's on now and next, and reminders a family member writes.
My Phone
When a phone has become confusing: a simple screen of familiar faces to call, the camera, the photos, and a Help button that calls one person the family chooses.
My People
When names are slipping: a private photo book of the people who matter, to show on a tablet or print.
My Emergency
For someone who might not be able to speak for themselves: a few key details on the phone's lock screen, readable without unlocking.
My Scam Sense
For anyone unsettled by a message: paste it in to see common warning signs explained in plain words.
Checklists and planners for families
There are also free checklists and planners — a medication list, questions for the doctor, preparing for what's next, living alone, care needs, dementia, hospital discharge, care costs and caring from a distance. None of them diagnoses anything.
Two of them have a leaflet and QR code too:
Medication List
Every medicine, allergy and the pharmacy in one place, printed as a clear sheet to take to appointments.
Questions for the Doctor
Getting ready for a GP or hospital appointment: what's changed and the questions to ask, printed to take along.
A short note to hand to families
You're welcome to copy this, or print this page.
Valora Parentis makes free, simple tools for families supporting a parent. They open in a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer — no sign-up, no cost, nothing to install — and what you type stays on your own device. Scan the QR code on your leaflet to open the tool you were given, or visit valoraparentis.com/tools for the checklists and planners.
The leaflets above are designed to print on one A4 page.
