There comes a point in every adult’s life where they need some assistance with their daily routine. Knowing how to tell when this time has come is crucial if you want to make sure your family members are healthy and happy. If you don’t know whether your loved ones need home care services, Brightstar of West St. Louis County in St. Louis, MO, has put together a list of signs they might require some assistance.

Here are some things to look for to determine if your parents or grandparents need home care:

• Difficulty Cooking & Cleaning: Eating well and maintaining sanitary living conditions is crucial to staying healthy. If you’ve noticed your family members have stopped cooking or cleaning up after themselves on a regular basis, a home care service can provide daily assistance with these tasks.
• Decline In Personal Hygiene: It’s not uncommon for seniors to eventually forget to brush their teeth, bathe themselves, or wash their clothes. When you see signs of a decline in personal hygiene, set up an appointment with a professional home care service that can cater to the specific needs of your loved one.
• Increased Immobility: It’s important for your family members to be able to get around. If they no longer have the mobility they once did and you need help to take them to their appointments and functions, a home care service can provide this type of assistance as well.

If you’ve seen your loved ones exhibit any of these signs, contact Brightstar of West St Louis County today. Their team of caregivers is dedicated to catering to all the needs of your loved one. To find out more about their home care services, call (314) 819-6000 or visit them online.
