It may be time to talk about more assistance at home with your loved ones if you notice any of these signs. It is important to have this conversation as a family. This change to accepting help may be scary for you or your aging loved one. Getting help with daily tasks can be seen as a loss of independence or freedom. Uniting everyone involved in the goal of keeping the aging adult at home is a great way of calming these nerves and working towards supporting the person in need. As the plan develops, it is essential to get the support of the family and the senior to ensure they know this is a collective choice.
