4 Red Flags That Your Granny Needs Assisted Living Care
Old age caries with it negative physical, mental, and emotional changes. Fortunately, assisted living facilities can help address these troublesome and horrifying changes. So how will you know that it is time to move your grandparent to an assisted living facility? Take a look at some of these following signs:
FREQUENT ACCIDENTS
No one knows when accidents can happen. Also, it can happen to just anyone, including your senior dear ones. Thus, it is not a good idea to leave your granny alone at home. Otherwise, who will respond if anything happens to them?
CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS
If your seniors have dementia, COPD, and other progressive medical conditions, then it may be time to consider placing them in an assisted living facility, where their needs can be properly attended to by healthcare professionals.
ISOLATION AND LONELINESS
Feelings of isolation and loneliness can lead to depression. Just like young people, elders also need to form social relationships. They need someone they can confide in.
MALNUTRITION
Doctors recommend that we eat three healthy meals a day. Seniors are not exempt from this. Sadly, meal preparation can sometimes be challenging for most elders.
