Recovery Readiness Check
For anyone recovering from an injury, operation, stroke or new diagnosis: checks whether the practical, physical and emotional pieces of recovery are in place, and flags warning signs that need a doctor today or emergency care.
Answer for where you are right now in your recovery. A higher score means more gaps to close, not that you are doing badly. Private. Your employer never sees your answers. This is a self-check, not a diagnosis, and you can stop anytime.
