Elderly Care in Lufkin: Why Clutter is a Sign it’s Time for a Caregiver

 provider of elderly care in Lufkin with elderly patient

Many seniors are used to being the strong, confident, leaders of their families. They’ve spent their lives caring for children and grandchildren, and have been there to provide care, love, and support whenever it was needed. Now, they’re so used to caring for others that they’re unwilling to admit they are struggling. This can make it difficult for families to know whether an aging loved one needs help from an elderly care provider such as Visiting Angels® Lufkin.

While your loved one may be telling you they are in top shape, their unusually dirty, messy, or cluttered home might be offering a different story. A cluttered home could be a sign your loved one is at risk of falling and injuring themselves. It could also be a sign of underlying health issues such as memory-related illnesses. Either way, if you’ve noticed a change in the cleanliness of your loved one’s Lufkin-area home, it’s probably time to look for an elderly care provider.

Clutter and Falls in Lufkin Area Homes

Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries for American seniors, and the more clutter around your loved one’s home, the higher their risk of tripping and falling. An elderly care provider from Visiting Angels Lufkin can help keep your loved one’s home safe and hazard free. They can offer light housekeeping to keep walkways and stairs clear, and, if needed, they can provide monitoring and mobility assistance.

Specialized Elderly Care in Lufkin

Your loved one’s dirty, messy, or cluttered home might also be a sign of deeper health problems. They might lack the motivation to clean their home because of the effects of depression. Arthritis, joint pain, or muscle weakness might make cleaning painful and exhausting. Also, your loved one might get distracted in the middle of cleaning or might forget steps in their daily cleaning routines due to a memory problem.

Elderly care services can offer your loved one in the Lufkin area the specialized support they need to live safely and comfortably. At Visiting Angels Lufkin, our specialized care services include personal care, companion care, dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, respite care, and much more.
