7 Signs It Might Be Time for Help at Home
When someone you love starts needing more support, knowing what to do next isn’t always clear. You want them to stay safe, happy, and independent—but how do you know when it’s time to bring in professional care?
Here are some common signs that it may be time to consider in-home care:
1. Daily Tasks Are Becoming a Struggle
If your loved one is having trouble with simple routines like bathing, cooking, cleaning, or dressing, it’s a sign they may need extra support. You might notice clutter piling up, poor hygiene, or weight loss from skipped meals.
2. Memory Problems Are Affecting Safety
Forgetting names, appointments, or where they are can be more than just aging—it may signal dementia or Alzheimer’s. If medication doses are missed or the stove is left on, having a caregiver around could prevent serious harm.
3. They’ve Had a Fall or Seem Unsteady
Even one fall can lead to serious injury. If your loved one has fallen recently or is afraid of walking around alone, home care can offer help with mobility and fall prevention.
4. They’re Withdrawing from Life
Have they stopped meeting friends, lost interest in hobbies, or seem lonely? Social isolation is a red flag—and a caring companion can make all the difference in staying emotionally well.
5. The House or Bills Are Being Neglected
Stacks of unopened mail, missed bills, or spoiled food in the fridge may point to cognitive decline or feeling overwhelmed. A caregiver can help manage these small but important daily details.
6. Mood or Behavior Has Changed
A sudden shift in personality—like confusion, irritability, or sadness—can signal deeper problems. Our caregivers are trained to recognize emotional and mental health needs and keep you informed.
7. You’re Feeling Burnt Out
If you’re the primary caregiver and feeling emotionally drained or physically exhausted, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do it all. Home care can lighten the load while keeping your loved one safe and supported.
