10 signs it might be time for help

Families usually notice small changes first. If several of these sound familiar, it may be time for a conversation.

  • Missed medications, or confusion about prescriptions
  • A recent fall — or bruises they can’t explain
  • Spoiled food in the fridge, or skipped meals
  • The house is messier than it used to be
  • Missed appointments, or getting lost on familiar routes
  • Less bathing, or wearing the same clothes for days
  • Withdrawing — fewer calls, fewer outings, quiet loneliness
  • Unpaid bills piling up
  • You worry when the phone rings late at night
  • You’re exhausted trying to do it all yourself

Questions to ask any home care agency

Ask these of us, and of anyone else you talk to.

  • Are your caregivers employees or independent contractors?
  • Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance?
  • How do you screen caregivers before they enter a home?
  • What training and supervision do caregivers receive?
  • Who do I call if something goes wrong — day or night?
  • What happens if our caregiver is sick?
  • Will we have the same caregiver each visit?
  • How do you handle changes to the care plan?
  • Can you help with long-term care insurance paperwork?
  • Can we meet the caregiver before care starts?
