Signs Your Parents May Need Help

There comes a time in life when everyone reaches an age where once simple daily tasks become difficult to perform. Faced with the challenges that aging can bring, seniors are often reluctant to admit they need help to remain at home.

Seniors

	I function OK on my own most of the time, but I could really use some help with some physical tasks around the house.
	I’m not really able to get out and socialize nearly as much as I use to. Sometimes I feel isolated and lonely.
	It’s difficult for me to remember things such as appointments, names or medication schedules. I’ve caught myself forgetting to lock the door or turn off the stove.
	Financially, I cannot afford the cost of an assisted living facility or homecare.
	I’m concerned about my safety. I’m no longer able to drive and my mobility is limited.
	My eyesight and hearing is declining. I’d feel much safer if someone were here to help me with the daily household tasks and be there in case of an emergency.
	I feel guilty that I am burdening my family by relying solely on them for support.
	I realize I need some extra help, but moving out of my home into a nursing home or assisted living facility is out of the question

Family and Loved Ones

	Caring for my aging parent is impacting my job, my family, and my relationships.
	I’m concerned that my mother is becoming isolated, not eating well or possibly mistaking her medications.
	I love my parents dearly, but having to care for them on my own is very stressful and exhausting.
	Financially, we cannot afford the cost of assisted living long-term care, or continuing care facilities.
	My father simply can’t safely remain at home all day by himself.
	My mother seems to be losing more and more independence. I’m concerned about her physical and emotional well-being and want to step in before things get worse.
	Every time I go to visit my parents, I find myself attending to their personal home needs rather than enjoying quality time with them.
	My parents will be happier remaining comfortable in their own home, rather than relocating to an unfamiliar facility or community environment.
