Making the decision to move a loved one into assisted living can be challenging. Observing changes in daily routines, safety, or well-being can help families make an informed and compassionate choice.
Signs Your Loved One May Need Extra Support
Struggling with Daily Tasks
Trouble with bathing, dressing, cooking, or household chores can mean it’s time for additional help.
Safety Risks at Home
Falls, accidents, or difficulties moving safely around the house indicate a need for supervision.
Challenges with Medications
Forgetting doses or taking medicines incorrectly can be dangerous—assisted living provides structured medication support.
Reduced Social Interaction
Withdrawal from friends, family, or community activities can impact emotional and cognitive health.
Caregiver Strain
When family members feel overwhelmed or stressed, professional care can provide relief while ensuring quality support.
