Signs Your Loved One in Rockwall Might Need Home Care

Your elderly loved ones may not always be up front about it if they need help at home. They may not even be aware of how a professional caregiver from Visiting Angels® Garland could make their lives easier. For these reasons, it's important to know what signs to look out for when your family gets together this holiday season. If you pick up on these subtle shifts when you see your relatives, it may be time to reach out to a home care provider in Rockwall for a consultation. 

The Biggest Warning Sign Is Change

There are many physical and behavioral signs to focus on as you try to evaluate your loved one's health, ability, and overall quality of life. The one unifying factor behind all these indicators is change. For example, clutter may not be unusual at a loved one's house, but unusual clutter may be a warning sign. If you notice something different about your loved one's home, like more mess than usual or a mostly empty fridge, it may mean they're going through some difficult changes of their own, like mobility issues or cognitive decline.

The same principle applies to their appearance, how they act, and their overall movements. If your mother always dressed to impress for the holidays but greets you at the door looking tired and unkempt, she may not be up to the rigors of her usual beauty regimen. You may also notice that she takes longer to get up out of her chair to clear the dishes off the table, or starts getting snappy with her favorite grandchildren. 

All of these minor changes, though not too extreme or disruptive, could be a sign that simple tasks are getting more strained for your loved one in Rockwall. A home care professional from Visiting Angels Garland could help with many of the daily tasks that have gotten more difficult while allowing your family member to maintain their independent lifestyle and stay in the home they love so much.
