Easter is a time of renewal and fresh starts. As we celebrate with loved ones, it's the perfect opportunity to check in and make sure our senior family members are thriving. If you're noticing some subtle changes, in-home care services, like those offered by Amy's Helping Hands, can be like a basket full of support to help them maintain their independence at home.
Spotting the Signs: A Springtime Checklist
- Household Hints: Are chores around the house becoming neglected? Unwashed dishes, dusty surfaces, or unopened mail can point to difficulty with daily tasks.
- Fridge Foraging: Take a peek in the refrigerator. Is there expired food, a lack of fresh produce, or mostly convenience items? This could signal meal preparation challenges.
- Personal Appearance: Does your loved one seem less attentive to their appearance? Unkempt hair, wearing the same clothes repeatedly, or changes in hygiene habits might need gentle support.
- Medication Mix-Ups: Unopened pill bottles, missed doses, or confusion about medication schedules can be a safety concern.
- Social Butterfly Blues: A usually outgoing senior becoming withdrawn or forgetful about appointments could indicate a need for companionship and mental stimulation.
