Signs That Your Loved One May Need Care

 

For most of us, there will come a time when our loved one or family member requires care. It is often a difficult and daunting time, however, when the warning signs are spotted earlier, early prevention measures can be put in place to support your loved one to remain living in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible.

In our latest blog, we talk about the common signs that it may be time to consider care.

  • They are struggling to maintain their personal hygiene A change in appearance or body odour may be a sign that your loved one needs support with their personal care. There are different reasons why someone may be struggling to maintain their usual personal hygiene standards; they no longer have the physical capabilities; their mental health issues are impacting their personal care routine, or they have simply forgotten to wash and clean themselves daily.
  • Changes in their weight If there is a 10% difference or more in body weight, this can be a sign that there is a problem. They may not be eating enough and losing weight as a result. This could be caused by difficulty preparing meals, feelings of loneliness or isolation impacting their appetite or forgetting to eat at mealtimes. Visiting them during mealtimes will give you a good indication of their eating habits.
  • Physical and mental changes Physical changes can include bruises or bumps from falls, weight changes, changes in personal hygiene or all of the above. Whilst mental changes can include mood swings, withdrawal from social situations, or displaying new behaviours that seem out of character.

Mental health problems can be experienced by people of all ages, so it is important to check in with your loved ones regularly to understand how they are feeling.

  • They are no longer able to perform daily tasks, another key sign that your loved one may need care is that they are unable to carry out daily tasks. You might notice that their house is becoming very untidy. If they struggle with things such as making a cup of tea, showering, getting dressed or preparing meals, they could benefit from the support of a homecare plan.
  • Memory loss Memory loss is typically associated with dementia. Although it can be a symptom of dementia, that is not always the case. If you are worried your loved one has dementia, it is best to seek advice from your GP. When treated early, people that are living with dementia can be supported to maintain their independence for longer. For more information on the early signs of dementia, you can read our blog here.
