Key Indicators That a Senior Loved One May Need Assisted Living

Key Indicators That a Senior Loved  One May Need Assisted LivingAging can be challenging not only relating to our health but also our ability to perform daily tasks and to live the life we deserve.

When we’re younger, we often take for granted the ability to easily button a shirt without arthritic fingers or the capacity to walk safely from the bathroom to the living room without tripping over an area rug and getting hurt.

Social Anxiety
Many older individuals may become uncomfortable and begin to pull back from social activities that they used to love. This often happens because they feel embarrassed about being forgetful or they become nervous in social situations due to feelings of inadequacy.

Medication & Financial Management
Seniors often find it confusing to sort through all of their medication and to remember which pills they should take at what times. They also sometimes forget to eat or are unprepared for daily tasks. These may include financial and monetary responsibilities or decisions. They may start to forget to pay their bills, or they may have a difficult time balancing their checking account.

Getting Around
When it becomes taxing to complete essential tasks like driving to the grocery store because they get lost, or they are apprehensive about driving in heavy traffic, they may need someone to step in and to help them make decisions for their long-term care options, so that they can live a safe and healthy life.

These warning signs are just a few that seniors face as they age. If you or a loved one could benefit from assistance, it’s important to seek help as soon as possible.
