There are number of warning signs that may indicate an older adult needs help at home. First, evaluate the person individually. Is Mom or Dad paying less attention to personal hygiene? Are his or her clothes dirty? Has Mom or Dad had unexplained bruising or other injuries that may indicate a fall? Next, assess the home environment for clutter, unopened mail, unpaid bills, expired food, and scorch marks on pans or countertops. Additionally, in-home care services may be needed following a recent discharge from the hospital or a skilled nursing facility or if family caregivers need a break. Contact us to schedule a free, no-obligation in-home consultation so that we can learn more about your loved one’s care needs.
