Is it time to consider elder care services for your loved one? Whether the seniors in your life are in need of dementia care or help with day-to-day tasks, the experienced, attentive staff at Visiting Angels is ready to offer assitance. Let’s look at some of the numerous warning signs indicating the need for elder home care:

  • Forgetfulness/Memory Changes: Does your older family member have trouble remembering people, places and events? An early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, it’s not uncommon for elderly people to be forgetful; however, forgetting to take medications, perform basic household tasks, throw out food, etc. indicates the need for elderly care and further medical examination.
  • Hygiene Decline: A noticeable decline in hygiene is another indication home care service is necessary. Whether due to dementia or limited mobility, the staff at Visiting Angels will ensure your loved one receives the hygiene-related care he or she needs.
  • Driving Issues: Is your parent or other family member having trouble driving? Rather than allowing the person to be a danger to himself and others, consider the errand and shopping services provided by Visiting Angels.
  • Unusual Behavior: Erratic or unusual behavior, such as speaking loudly, appearing agitated, and withdrawing from social interactions, may mean dementia care is required.
  • Injuries & Accidents: A loved one who appears consistently injured and can’t explain why is also a serious sign.
