Why Clutter is a Telltale Sign Your Loved One in Aspen Hill Needs At-Home Senior Care

A cluttered home is a major indicator that elderly adults in Aspen Hill, Laurel and Silver Spring, MD need professional at-home senior care from a reliable home care agency like Visiting Angels

Are you wondering whether your senior loved one needs professional in-home care? If their home that has always been in near-mint condition is lately cluttered, that may be a telltale sign your parent requires some professional assistance.

The Impact of Clutter

Clutter poses a significant risk to seniors who live alone. Most older adults in America get injured due to falls. In fact, more than one in four seniors will fall each year and end up with injuries like hip fractures, broken bones and brain injuries. Falls can also lead to depression and isolation. This is why a small misplaced item on the floor can become a big issue.

In addition, clutter could be a sign of various health problems.

Physical Factors

Many seniors do not want to admit that they need help. Some of them are too proud to say that they need at-home senior care, while others do not want to be a burden. If you have noticed that your parent's home has been cluttered for some time, it may be because they are struggling with everyday tasks. Seniors have weak skeletons and are prone to conditions like arthritis. If your parent finds everyday housework too difficult, our in-home care services can help.

Forgetfulness

Is your loved one missing steps in their usual everyday routine? We all forget things sometimes, like were we left our keys or someone's name. However, if your parent's home is cluttered, their bills left unpaid, and they face other issues such as problems communicating, your loved one might be suffering from dementia. If your parent is exhibiting early signs of dementia, it might be wise to contact their physician.

Depression

More than six million seniors in America are struggling with depression. As we age our bodies don't produce the same levels of chemicals like serotonin, which is why older adults are more prone to depression. In addition, seniors face many issues that are upsetting, like loss of loved ones and facing mortality. If your parent's lack of effort around their home is accompanied by loss of weight and mood swings, contact a medical professional.
