Spot the signs that an ageing loved one needs support!
Handy hints from award winning Home Instead Wetherby and North Leeds to support family's in recognising changes highlighting when a loved one might need additional support.
Whenever family’s gather it’s a good time to look out for changes in your loved ones general health and mobility, especially those who are vulnerable.
It’s sometimes hard for an individual to recognise they may need support at home and are often reluctant to accept that they may not be able to do what they used to, especially if they have always been independent and haven’t had to rely on anyone. Issues with poor mobility or living with a medical condition can contribute to struggling with daily tasks at home, but support is available to alleviate the stress.
Please make sure to look out for the signs below of a loved one requiring additional support at home or anything else that looks concerning and begin the discussion about the need for support.
At Home Instead we make this discussion as easy as possible by providing you with as much information as you need and to take the time to discuss your loved ones needs.
Having regular care at home can definitely make a difference to your loved one’s long-term wellbeing.
Home Instead provide award winning care to those who need it in Wetherby and North Leeds, providing matched care professionals to clients, building a long term relationship with continuous high quality care from our hour long visits.
As your loved one ages, they may become a little unsteady on their feet, which can lead to falls and serious injuries. If they are living on their own, this can be a severe hazard. Getting support earlier for someone who may be struggling can help prevent a crisis from happening such as a fall or hospitalisation. Not only can a carer support your loved one if they have a fall, but they can also prevent these incidents by regularly visiting and understanding the daily routine, taking preventive measures, ensuring removal of trip hazards, checking dates on food in the fridge and ensuring the house is well lit.
