Knowing when a loved one may need additional support isn’t always easy. Changes in daily routines, mobility, personal care, or household tasks can be signs that extra help may make everyday life safer, easier, and more comfortable.

Bathing, dressing, preparing meals, moving around, or keeping up with household tasks may become more difficult. These changes can indicate that additional support could make daily life easier and safer.

Falls or near-falls, a recent hospital stay, changes in memory, missed medications or meals, or difficulty maintaining regular routines may be signs that extra support is needed.

Family members may need help with caregiving, transportation, errands, or coordinating daily care. Home care can provide additional support while giving family caregivers time to rest and manage other responsibilities.
