Signs Your Loved One in Portland Might Need Home Care

In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be easy to get carried away in the festivities. But as you attend holiday parties, gift exchanges, and go to other holiday events, don’t forget about the aging loved ones in your life. Not only can a holiday visit brighten the day of an elderly person, an in-person visit is also a chance for you to get a clearer idea of the home care needs of your loved one in the Portland, OR area.

While you may be diligent about keeping up with your loved one over the phone and through e-mail, it’s not always easy to know whether a loved one needs care. Your loved one may not let you know they’re struggling, and may not want to admit they need a helping hand. When you visit a loved one's home in person, you get a first-hand look into your loved one’s daily needs and challenges.

Below we’ve listed a few signs to look out for as you visit your loved one’s home this holiday season. If you notice these warning signs, it may be time to arrange home care services from Visiting Angels® Portland, OR. We can support seniors in Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Milwaukie, Lake Oswego, or the surrounding areas.
