How to Determine Who Needs Assistance

Last time we discussed the who and how elder care impacts our society.  Now let’s take a look at how we can determine who needs elder care.  The two issues of concern listed below are strong indicators of a need for elder care.

  1. MEMORY
  2. Medications  being  taken, and if so correctly (i.e. amount, and x’s/day)?
  3. Is the stove left on, especially with food cooking?
  4. Medical appointments forgot, or even made?
  5. A repeating over and over of the same topic during conversation?  
  6. Neighbors mentioning concerns they have after observing your loved- one’s behaviors?
  7. A sudden loss of interest in relationships with close friends and/or family members?
  • SAFETY
  • Forgetting to use assistance (walker or Cane)?
  • A recent change in eating habits, especially the amount taken in?
  • Increase in falling, more than 1 in the last 3 months?
  • New dents and dings in the loved-one’s vehicle?
  • A sudden concern that their affairs are in order?

If you can answer yes to any of the above issues, it may be time to start a discussion regarding elder care.
