3 Signs That Your Loved One in Layton May Need Home Care

If your loved one in Layton enjoys living at home, the time will likely come when they need the assistance of home care from Visiting Angels Davis-Weber to manage the everyday tasks of living. But deciding when to begin this care can be difficult for many families, especially if their loved ones insist they are doing just fine on their own. So how do you determine when it’s the right time?

Here are three warning signs that can indicate your loved one in Layton is ready for home care:     

1. Mobility issues - Changes in mobility can make every activity or task in your loved one’s home more challenging and even dangerous with an increased risk of falling.
   Look for:

   • Walking with an unsteady gait

   • Using furniture or walls for balance

   • Difficulty sitting down or getting up from a seated position

2. Increased forgetfulness - This can be an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
   Look for:

   • Unpaid bills and unopened mail

   • Missing doctor appointments

   • Expired medications and food

3. Poor hygiene habits - Changes in personal hygiene can be the result of changes in mobility or cognitive ability and can lead to embarrassment and self-isolation.
   Look for:

   • Unpleasant body odor

   • Changes from their “normal”; unshaven facial hair or messy hair when they have always taken pride in their appearance.

   • Wearing the same clothing for multiple days
