Red Flags: When It's Time for Live In Care
Recognizing when it's time to opt for a live in caregiver is crucial:
- Growing Medical Needs: An increase in doctor visits, frequent hospitalizations, or more medications might signify the need for constant attention.
- Limited Mobility: Watch out for increased difficulties in daily tasks, from getting out of bed to navigating around the house.
- Cognitive Struggles: Forgetfulness is common with age, but when it starts posing potential risks – like leaving stoves on – it might be time for constant supervision.
- Emotional Signals: When loved ones exhibit feelings of deep isolation, or signs of depression, having a constant companion can be a source of comfort and support.
