Signs Your Loved One in Rochester Hills Might Need Home Care

Deciding when it’s the right time to begin home care for an aging loved one in Rochester Hills can be difficult. This is especially true if your loved one is resistant to change or worries about losing their independence.

Is Your Loved One in Rochester Hills Ready For Home Care?

Some seniors are too proud to admit they need help. Others are fearful that they will lose their independence and ability to continue living at home. Quite often, this puts the burden on family members who need to observe their loved ones and recognize when they can no longer live on their own without assistance.

So where do you start? The holidays are an excellent time to assess how your loved one is doing. While visiting them in their Rochester Hills home, look for changes in mood, appearance, and physical ability that can indicate the need for our care, including:

• Confusion and forgetfulness

• Difficulty getting up from a seated position

• Trouble balancing or walking

• Extreme mood swings

• Bruises and injuries they can’t explain

• Falling for scams or giving away money

• Noticeable weight loss

• Self-isolation, loneliness, and depression

• A lack of personal hygiene
