It can be difficult to determine when the right time to seek assisted living is. Many seniors experience a decline in mobility or capacity slowly over time, so there’s often not an obvious point at which assisted living may be necessary.

However, there are several warning signs you can look for that indicate it is a good idea to start exploring support options:

Sudden weight loss or difficulty preparing meals: One of the biggest benefits of assisted living care is the help seniors get with grocery shopping and meal preparation. Cooking, cleaning, and meal planning can take up a lot of time, and some seniors grow forgetful or simply don’t dedicate the time required to eat as much as they need to.

Infrequent bathing: If you notice your loved one is no longer bathing regularly, this is a good sign that they are no longer physically able to take care of themselves full time.

Assisted living support can provide the necessary help with everyday hygiene tasks like bathing, brushing teeth, and grooming.

Lack of mobility: It is not uncommon for seniors to experience a decline in mobility as they get older, even absent diagnosed health conditions. This is just a natural part of aging. If your loved one is experiencing difficulty getting around the house or to appointments, assisted living support can help.

These are just a few signs that assisted living services be a good option for your loved one. However, each situation is different, and each senior has different needs. Have a conversation with your loved one about the idea of assisted living, and contact Health Force with any questions.

If you or a loved one is experiencing early stage, mid-stage and late-stage dementia, our Assisted Home Health Services may be a suitable option. Each type of dementia disease has a different underlying cause. This leads to differing symptoms and causes them to progress in differing ways. As such, the HHA/CNA assigned to your case will have specialized training in patient memory care. Like our Assisted Living Services, we begin by visiting your home to conduct an at-home assessment to determine the specific care plan is best for your loved one. Our goal is to make your family member who is living with dementia as comfortable as possible in their own home and best taken care of.

At Health Force, we understand that having someone come into your home or the home of a loved one can be a big decision. It is natural to worry and to have questions about the process and level of services provided.

We want all of our patients to feel at home and comfortable regardless of what type of support they need. That’s why compatibility is a big consideration in matching our HHAs/CNAs with a patient.

We also take great care in our hiring decisions and only hire the most skilled and compassionate caregivers. All of our staff are employees of Health Force: we do not use third-party contractors.

Our team is always here for you, and we provide 24-hour on-call service in case you need immediate support. We are always more than happy to answer any questions or address any concerns. The needs of you and your loved ones always come first — contact Health Force today by clicking here.
