When Is It Time for In-Home Care? Recognizing the Signs in Your Loved One
It can be incredibly challenging to recognize when a beloved parent or senior loved one needs more help than family members can comfortably provide. This realization often comes with mixed emotions, but acknowledging the signs is the first step toward ensuring their safety and well-being.
Key indicators that it might be time for in-home care include:
- Decline in Personal Hygiene: Infrequent bathing, unkempt appearance.
- Missed Medications: Forgetting doses or taking incorrect amounts.
- Unexplained Weight Loss or Poor Nutrition: Difficulty preparing meals.
- Increased Social Isolation: Withdrawal from hobbies or friends.
- Difficulty with Household Tasks: Unusually messy home, unwashed laundry.
- Frequent Falls or Mobility Issues: Struggles with balance or movement.
