As parents, grandparents, and loved ones grow older, there are a few important signs you should look for to ensure that they can still easily manage the tasks of daily life. Though they may seem like minor instances, there is some cause for concern when your loved one struggles to maintain their health and wellbeing. Here are a few signs to keep an eye out for, to be sure that your loved one is living their best life and receiving the proper care they’re entitled to.
Forgetfulness
Whether it’s missed appointments, difficulty remembering names, or even conversational confusion that you’ve noticed is happening more frequently, worsening memory and forgetfulness is often an indicator that your loved one may benefit from professional companion care.
Mobility
Does your loved one struggle with physical tasks as simple as standing up or sitting down? Surely we can’t expect our elderly family members to perform at peak physical fitness levels, but when even the most simple of occupational tasks become to difficult to handle, it’s time to get your loved one the professional care they both need and deserve.
Hygiene
An unkempt appearance is another vital sign that your loved one may require the help of a home care professional. Whether they’re afraid of having a slip and fall in the shower while they’re living on their own, or they’ve begun having difficulty with the daily grooming process, a personal care expert has the knowledge and know-how to help your family member with tasks such as showering, getting dressed, and going to the lavatory.
Injuries
Has your loved one started having more accidental slips, unexpected falls, or inexplicable bruises and injuries? Home care services can give them the support they need to help prevent a more severe accident, which could cause significant health complications.
