Signs Your Loved One in Chicago May Be Ready for Home Care

Are you concerned that your loved one is struggling to manage day-to-day activities, but isn’t ready to ask for help? It can be hard for seniors to admit they need a hand, especially if they value their independence. As you visit your loved one in Chicago this holiday season, look for these signs that can signal the need for home care:  

• Clutter that blocks walkways or makes it impossible for tables, counters, and other furniture to be used as intended

• Holding on to spoiled food or expired medications

• Weight loss

• Bruises or injuries that they can’t or won’t explain

• Forgetting appointments

• Withdrawing from family, friends, and favorite activities

• Unpleasant body odor due to lack of personal hygiene

If your loved one is exhibiting any of these signs, it may be time to have a conversation about home care from Visiting Angels Chicago.
