Is Your Loved One in Longview Ready for Home Care?
Because many seniors have a hard time admitting when they need help, it’s often up to their family and loved ones to notice when they start having trouble with the activities of daily living. Keep that in mind as you visit your loved one in Longview over the holidays. Be observant, and look for common signs that can indicate the need for home care, including:
- Forgetfulness, such as missing appointments or medications, leaving appliances
on, and leaving bills unpaid. - Change in appearance, including weight loss, unpleasant body odor, or lack of personal grooming.
- Mobility issues, such as an unsteady gait, having a hard time sitting down or getting up from a seated
position, or climbing a flight of stairs. - Emotional or mental difficulties, including loneliness, sadness, and loss of interest in family, friends, or favorite activities.
