🏡 How to Know When It’s Time for In-Home Care
It’s not always easy to know when a loved one needs more support. Small changes can add up over time — and recognizing the signs early can make a big difference in their safety, health, and happiness.
Here are a few signs it may be time to consider in-home care:
💭 Memory Loss or Confusion
Forgetfulness, repeating questions, or getting lost in familiar places could indicate early dementia or cognitive decline.
🧼 Personal Hygiene or Home Care Decline
Unwashed clothes, missed showers, or a cluttered home may show they’re struggling with daily tasks.
🍽️ Poor Nutrition or Missed Meals
Weight loss, expired food, or empty cabinets may mean they’re not eating regularly or safely.
💊 Medication Mistakes
Missing doses or taking the wrong meds can be dangerous — especially with multiple prescriptions.
🚗 Trouble Driving or Mobility Issues
Unexplained dents in the car or difficulty walking could be signs it’s no longer safe to be alone.
💙 Isolation or Mood Changes
Withdrawal, depression, or increased anxiety may mean they need more social interaction and emotional support.
