How Do I Know The Right Option?

Assisted Living

It’s not always easy to tell when you or a loved one needs more help. The following warning signs may indicate that it’s time for a talk about Assisted Living:

  • Do you find the refrigerator is empty or filled with spoiled food? Are you or your loved one losing weight? These may be signs of not eating well because shopping or cooking is difficult.
  • Do you notice frequent bruises? This may be a sign of falling or mobility and balance problems.
  • Does your loved one wear the same clothes over and over again or neglect personal hygiene? This can indicate that doing laundry and bathing is physically challenging.
  • Do you find the house and yard isn’t as clean and tidy as it used to be?
  • Does your loved one forget things, including doctor’s appointments or when to take medication? This may be due to memory loss.
  • Does your loved one seem down? Depression is common in seniors who are isolated and alone.
  • Do you notice strange or inappropriate behavior? For example, dressing inappropriately for the weather. This can be a sign that he or she is experiencing confusion.

Long Term Care

Skilled nursing communities take the worry and stress out of daily living while focusing on the needs of the whole person. The following questions can help determine if a long term care setting is right for you:

  • Did you have an accident that prevents you from living independently?
  • Were you recently hospitalized and need additional care?
  • Does your loved one wear the same clothes over and over again or neglect personal hygiene? This can indicate that doing laundry and bathing is physically challenging.
  • Do you find the house and yard isn’t as clean and tidy as it used to be?
  • Is the primary care giver having trouble meeting the needs of their loved one?
  • Do you have a serious medical condition that requires 24 hour care?
