Recognizing When It’s Time for Help
Caring for an aging parent or loved one is a big responsibility. But how do you know when it’s time to bring in professional help? Many families wait until a crisis occurs before considering home care—leaving everyone stressed and overwhelmed.
Here are five warning signs it’s time to start the conversation:
1. Declining Personal Hygiene
If your loved one is skipping showers, wearing the same clothes for days, or neglecting grooming, it may signal physical or cognitive limitations.
How BrightStar Care Helps: Our caregivers provide dignified assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming—so your loved one feels clean and confident.
2. Unexplained Weight Loss or Poor NutritionEmpty refrigerators, expired food, or skipped meals indicate a need for support.
Our Solution: BrightStar Care caregivers help with meal planning, grocery shopping, and safe meal preparation to ensure proper nutrition.
3. Frequent Falls or Mobility ChallengesFalls are a major risk for seniors living alone. If you notice bruises, balance issues, or hesitancy moving around the home, take action.
Our Solution: We provide fall prevention strategies and mobility support to keep your loved one safe and independent at home.
Missing doses—or taking too many—can lead to serious health issues.
Our Solution: BrightStar offers medication reminders and skilled nursing for complex medication management, giving families peace of mind.
Isolation can lead to depression and cognitive decline.
Our Solution: Our companion care services provide friendly conversation, outings, and engagement activities to keep seniors connected.
