When Is It Time for In-Home Senior Care?

May 15, 2025Assisting Hands

How to Know Your Loved One Needs Help at Home

Watching a parent or loved one age is never easy—especially when you start to notice small signs that they may be struggling to manage daily tasks. Many families wonder: “When is it time to get help?”
At Assisting Hands Home Care in Winter Garden, FL, we work with families every day who face this same question. If you’re noticing changes in behavior, health, or mobility, it may be time to consider professional in-home care.

🕒 7 Signs It Might Be Time for Home Care

  1. Declining Personal Hygiene
    Is your loved one skipping showers, wearing the same clothes for days, or forgetting to brush their teeth?
  2. Memory Issues or Confusion
    Repeating stories, misplacing items, or forgetting names can be signs of cognitive decline.
  3. Difficulty with Mobility
    Trouble getting out of bed, using stairs, or walking steadily increases fall risk and limits independence.
  4. Unexplained Weight Loss or Poor Nutrition
    They may be forgetting to eat, struggling to cook, or not shopping for groceries.
  5. Medication Mistakes
    Missing doses or taking medications incorrectly can be dangerous and even life-threatening.
  6. Isolation or Withdrawal
    A once-social loved one may start skipping outings or isolating themselves at home.
  7. Caregiver Burnout
    If you’re feeling overwhelmed trying to manage care, it’s time to ask for help—for their sake and yours.
