If
your elderly parent lives alone, you may have wondered if they have an adequate
support system to ensure their safety and comfort. We encourage you to read some advice from the
experts to determine if your parent needs more help to not just survive but to
thrive!
Have
they had any recent falls or driving mishaps?
Do you have any reason to suspect they may be endangering their safety
by forgetting to turn off the stove or other appliances? Do you see signs that they are having
difficulty bathing and attending to personal daily care activities? Does their house look unusually
unkempt with dirty dishes lying around and mail stacking up? Are there signs of spoiled food or an empty
refrigerator?
Also
consider if your parent has health conditions that are making it more difficult
for them to care for themselves. Poor
balance and failing eyesight can increase the likelihood of a fall and not
having help close at hand can be dangerous.
In addition, if your parent no longer drives, they may be having a hard
time getting out to the grocery store or to doctor appointments as well as
becoming socially isolated.
Assisted
living may offer the best option if your parent or spouse needs more personal
care than he/she can get (or afford) at home or an independent living community,
but does not require 24-hour medical care and supervision. MorningStar

living and memory
care facility. We
