When To Choose Home Care

When it’s time to make a decision about if loved one should enlist in home care, take these things into consideration:

1. Has your loved one had difficulty managing daily living activities due to illness, pregnancy, or injury?
2. Have you noticed decreased reflex response in your loved one?
3. Is your loved one unable to drive, or become a high risk driver?
4. Has maintaining healthy eating habits become difficult? Is there enough food in the refrigerator?
5. Has the appearance of your loved one changed due to insufficient or inadequate self grooming?
6. Does your loved one show behavior such as depression, anxiety, fear, irritability and discomfort when away from home?
7. Is your loved one having a difficult time bending, stretching or kneeling?
8. Is your loved one forgetting to lock doors, windows or becoming careless with turning off lights, blowing out candles, or maybe forgetting where the keys are?
