4 Signs Your Loved One Needs More Care

While we all wish that our loved ones could live independently forever, we also know that this is just not how life always works. Determining what kind of extra care is needed is often the first step toward finding the right help.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to look for in those whom we love.

Signs that someone you love may be ready for additional care:

At home. They may have trouble walking up and down the stairs, getting in and out of bed, maneuvering in the shower or bathtub or even putting together a simple meal in the kitchen. Daily tasks related to laundry, cleaning and shopping may also be affected.

On the body. It’s not always pleasant to think about but oftentimes, some of the first skills to fade are those related to personal hygiene. This may be related to the bathroom and bathing and/or also to eating and drinking.

In the car. Their driving is erratic and makes you nervous. They drive too fast or too slow and may get lost on even the most well-known routes.

On paper. They may have uncharacteristically missed paying a crucial bill or mailed a letter to the wrong address or without a stamp.
